A Democratic Party presidential hopeful has surprising praise for Tucker Carlson after his unceremonious departure from Fox News Channel (FNC).
In the wake of Monday’s announcement, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. expressed support for Carlson and suggested without evidence that Carlson was forced out over a recent monologue about the pharmaceutical industry.
As People reports:
“Fox fires @tuckercarlson five days after he crosses the red line by acknowledging that the TV networks pushed a deadly and ineffective vaccine to please their Pharma advertisers,” the 69-year-old nephew of late President John F. Kennedy and son of late U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy wrote on Twitter. “Carlson’s breathtakingly courageous April 19 monologue broke TV’s two biggest rules: Tucker told the truth about how greedy Pharma advertisers controlled TV news content and he lambasted obsequious newscasters for promoting jabs they knew to be lethal and worthless.”
He continued: “For many years, Tucker has had the nation’s biggest audience averaging 3.5 million — 10 times the size of CNN. Fox just demonstrated the terrifying power of Big Pharma.”
Fox released a brief statement yesterday saying the network and its top-earning host “agreed to part ways.” (RELATED: Carlson Was Set To Go Live Tonight Until Murdoch Shut Him Down: Report)
Kennedy, 68, is challenging President Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries. A scion of the Kennedy clan, he’s relying on a populist message to gain traction from a coalition of minority voters and working-class whites, like his father before him.

Kennedy’s activism against FDA-approved vaccines has generated significant backlash. Investigative reporters found his nonprofit, Children’s Health Defense, one of the biggest spreaders of vaccine misinformation online.
At an anti-vaccine rally in Washington last year, he compared criticisms facing anti-vaxxers to the plight of Anne Frank and the Holocaust. The comments were universally condemned, leading to an apology from Kennedy.
For his part, Carlson has expressed support for some of Kennedy’s contrarian stances in the past.

Well, it just might happen that a Kennedy will rebirth the Democratic Party from the gaggle of blind, subversive perverted DemoCreeps they have become. Let’s wait and see!
IF THE Democratic Party hasn’t already destroyed the group with ridiculous decisions
I am not buying his story. have seen him in a couple recent interviews and you have to question as long as he has been a politician how he has voted lock step with the dems regardless of the legislation. how for the last 20 years or so he has set back and kept quiet while pelosi, AOC, tlaib have taken over and radicalized your party.
