He was fired for one reason: they were caught and lost money. Otherwise, they couldn’t have cared less.

Firing Tucker for racism is like firing a guard dog for barking.

Fox News lost 100, 000 subscribers on YouTube in a week. America is getting better.

[AccelerateYourSuccess]

That's not why he was fired. They knew who he was all along. We all did. This is to cover their butts. They fired him because of "green".

[GriethDay]

All of the ugly things Fox & Fools have done are coming to light and I am here for it!

[abcbca]

Not to mention the strange Gaetz interview when tucker looked like a deer in the headlights when gaetz mentioned the dinner with his girlfriend. Tucker's sudden and temporary amnesia is concerning.

[ashlibabbitt]

Does anyone think that Tucker has ever been in a fight in his life? He wore a bow tie for most of his adult life and goes fly fishing in Central Park.

What's sad about the whole thing is 99% of the current Rep party doesn't care! Trump has started a new sewer system in our country. Few Rep's have any shame!

[Balletcalvero]

Okay but that text sounds exactly like something he would say on national television, though

[Bonjour-World]

No surprise .... this is typical for the current Republican party.

Somebody said it, ., ., When the news organization lies to you, ., it means that they don't respect you.

You can tell someone’s an illegal immigrant by looking? My brother in law, a US citizen, had an aneurysm on the job at the farm where he was a manager. Before the ambulance arrived someone stole his stuff so he had no ID. The EMTs assumed he was an illegal immigrant and took him to the hospital for the undocumented and uninsured, which was much further than the much better hospital where they take insured people. After a week on life support they had to let him go. He probably would have survived if someone hadn’t assumed he was undocumented by how he looked. It’s a horrible story on so many levels. Disgusting to see these privileged psychopaths laughing.

Spot on Ari all non racist knew Fox was racist 🤬

[carter]

I was just as disturbed by his bloodlust at seeing the man violently and viciously attacked.

[sms]

Tucker talks of things he knows nought.... I doubt he could fight his way out of a wet paper bag... he'd need help

[batgurrl]

Thanks Ari for the spot on commentary. My gut instinct tells me there are far worse things behind the scenes that caused them to ire him.

[wayneriley]

I’m sure tucker was never in a fight. He thinks a fight is getting on tv and yelling lies and giggling at someone.

[immortalasirpa]

When The Clansman talks about *legacy Americans, * he is NOT speaking of indigenous peoples who called this continent home before his ancestors arrived to murder them and *steal their land.* He's talking about his colonizers club. He's worshipping himself.

[rickgiles]

It’s the common theme: follow the money. Tuck became a liability that outweighed his worth to the network. I think Bartiromo and Pierro have reason to worry about their jobs. Ingraham and Hannity should also be worrying.

[cindyolson]

Yay Ari, thanks for holding the hate accountable!!!
