With Tucker Carlson's ouster, House GOP loses a key ally - and agitator

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘A day after trying to rally House Republicans to support Ukraine, Boris Johnson confessed that he met stiff resistance because the lawmakers feared one man who opposed the war.

“I’ve been amazed and horrified by how many people are frightened of a guy called Tucker Carlson,” the former British prime minister said, drawing laughter from the Atlantic Council audience on Feb. 1. “Has anybody heard of somebody called — has anybody heard of Tucker Carlson?”

Yes, most definitely, House Republicans have heard Carlson, loud and clear.

The now ousted Fox News personality drew more than 3 million viewers a night, the most in prime time for cable news. But the most loyal — or cowed — patrons were the more than 200 members of the House Republican Conference for the past few years.’

There are ample other rightwing demagogues to keep the more than 200 members of the House Republican Conference sufficiently cowed.

Exactly. I expect he'll quickly put together a subscription service and be taking in more money than he'll know how to spend. Imagine if only half that number were paying 10 bucks a month... add to that the absolute freedom from censorship by any network entity.

That's exactly what happened last night. Tucker smoked all the media competition with just a 2:40 second monologue on Twitter.

Awww, poor Boring Johnson, yet another stooge who answers to the Establishment, he can’t understand why no one likes warmongering globalist pigs.

With Tucker Carlson's ouster​

Ouster? Hey Gumdrop, you people have made Tucker Carlson now THE BIGGEST NAME IN NEWS. He is a superstar now and will only be resurfacing somewhere else bigger, badder, meaner, richer, and stronger than ever. You've just turned your worst dream into a nightmare but are too stoopid to realize it yet.

You really think Carlson is just going to lay down and take this, or walk away and die, or go look for a job on MSNBC???

This is wishful thinking on the part of the idiotic WaPo. Tucker will do whatever he wants to do. His popularity was the result of his pro American positions and they aren't going anywhere. Nothing changed except the name on the cereal box, and FOX's ratings. The Murdocks suck.
