Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson made his first public remarks since being fired from Fox News this week in response to a report about Biden administration officials in the Pentagon cheering his ouster.
Carlson regularly hit the U.S. military under President Joe Biden’s leadership for focusing on woke initiatives instead of focusing on being the most lethal fighting force on the planet.
“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” one senior DOD official toldPOLITICO. The official claimed that Carlson “made a mockery” of the free press and “repeatedly cherry-picked department policies and used them to destroy DOD as an institution.”
A second DOD official added, “Good riddance.”
