Anonymous
I wonder if he was fired for the $780 million or for these pervy comments in the Grossberg lawsuit?

I think a good father doesn't peddle lies, spur on nutjobs. How does he explain all his lies, racism to his children? Actually, he probably groomed his kids to be racist, too.


His son works for a GOP congressman

No info anywhere on the internet about his two oldest daughters

Youngest daughter is a sophomore at SMU


They were UVA sorority sisters back in the day. But who can blame them for scrubbing google. People are nuts.


TBF, their dad went a long way in encouraging viewers to go after folks simply doing their jobs. He helped create the peril they may now face.

Tucker is an equal opportunity offender to those of you who didn't watch. And, while he expressed great skepticism about our support of the war in Ukraine, he never expressed support of Russia or PUtin. He repeatedly said that Putin is a bad guy. He did not defend him--contrary to what the left wants you to think.



Sounds like you think he is a principled man.

You know he's a fan of Viktor Orban, right? Of all the places to host his show, he hosted it from the capital, Budapest, for a week in 2021.

Also, he was offered a job by Russian state TV so they must think he is friendly to Putin.

And his dad now lobbies for Orban!

I cannot fathom how they’d do something this stupid… then I remind myself that even their management are probably high school dropouts with GED’s at best. Then it makes sense again.


Sadly not true. Highly educated staff @ Fox.

“It may be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious, what is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much?” (Carlson) said on his Tuesday night show. “Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him?”

Carlson, who has been accused of being “one of the biggest cheerleaders for Russia” during the conflict, asked viewers on his top-rated Fox News show a series of questions about whether Putin had promoted “racial discrimination” in schools, made fentanyl, attempted “to snuff out Christianity” or eaten dogs.

“These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is ‘no.’ Vladimir Putin didn’t do any of that,” he said. “So, why does permanent Washington hate him so much?”


I believe he majored in Russian / Russian history at Trinity.


Lede in this GQ profile from 2017 says he tried to get a job at the CIA in 1991.

If you think this is the last of Tucker, you are so mistaken. He will be hired and paid record amounts of money!

Of course he can grift until he's in a nursing home. Maybe he'll get some cash from Musk and twitter or something. But his reign as a Conservative king maker are certainly over. It's not all about money to him, I'm sure he loved the status of being a king and making the GOP's boomer base froth. Nobody has the muscle of News Corp with Fox News, WSJ, NY Post, Daily Mail, and whatever social media assets and tricks they used to amplify him. That is all gone. And frankly, he's really not that interesting. He's a boring empty nester who apparently lives in isolation; an out of touch rich guy reading a script his gofers prepare.

Tucker most likely was paid the remainder of his contract, can not disparage Fox and has a non compete. You will not see him anywhere for the next year. After that where is he going that will paid a lot of money? Fox has 99% of the conservatives market and their is no competition. So no place tucker can go and get paid record amounts of money.

Tucker is a product of Fox. He is an actor or character in a roll. They will hire someone else and that person will become the new “star”.
