Days after being let go from Fox News, Tucker Carlson offered his first statement – albeit a short one – regarding reaction to his departure. Carlson and Fox News Media parted ways Monday, though the exact reasons are unclear. Carlson, who had been with the network 14 years, headlined “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” a lead in to Sean Hannity’s Fox News show “Hannity.”Carlson, as well as Don Lemon, the CNN hosted fired the same day, have hired top Hollywood lawyer Bryan Freedman. Carlson has not responded to the Fox ouster but he did provide a comment on a Politico report that claimed Department of Defense officials were celebrating his exit. Carlson responded via text to Politico’s request for comment on reports DOD officials were glad he was gone.
