Tucker Carlson, fired from Fox News on Monday for so many reasons (take your pick), spoke out for the first time since his departure, in a video posted to Twitter.

Carlson did not mention Fox News or even refer to his exit, but he did say that “the majority of the population” is “hilarious,” and that “most of the debates you see on television” are “unbelievably stupid” and “completely irrelevant” (he is not wrong). The big topics he says — like “demographic change” — get virtually no coverage, he says, because “both political parties and their donors” do not allow it. He also railed about “the people in charge” who are “hysterical and aggressive” because they are “afraid.”

“Where can you still find Americans saying true things? There aren’t many places left, but there are some,” Carlson added, before ending with “see you soon,” a likely reference to his next project.

Personally, I think that it’s great that a multimillionaire nepo baby, heir to the Swanson fortune, and a guy who has had television programs on all three of the major cable news networks over the last 20 years is finally speaking truth to power from the studio he had built in his home in Maine.

Remember when Tucker Carlson’s brother spoke truth to power in a reply-all to Bill de Blasio spokeswoman Amy Spitalnick that Tucker laughed off? “Whiny little self-righteous b—-h. Appalling? And with such an ironic name, too … Spitalnick? Ironic because you just know she has extreme dick fright; no chance has this girl ever had a pearl necklace. Spoogeneck? I don’t think so. More like LabiaFace.”

I wonder how that statement would play with Carlson’s “postmenopausal” audience?

I’m just glad that a real man of the people — what the boarding schools he attended in Connecticut and Switzerland, and the four homes his father owned before he married a Swanson — is finally going somewhere where he can say “true things,” as opposed to the lies he’s been telling to his audience for the last two decades.
