While most Fox News staffers have remained silent since chairman and CEO Roger Ailes resigned on Thursday morning, Brit Hume voiced his support of his former boss via Twitter.
“To people like myself who have worked with Roger Ailes at Fox News from the start, today’s announcement is heartbreaking,” the senior political analyst for “Fox News Sunday” wrote.
“The fact that Rupert Murdoch himself has taken charge at Fox News is a sign of how much the company values what Roger Ailes built,” he continued.
Ailes’ immediate departure was announced earlier Thursday, with 21st Century Fox Executive Co-Chairman Murdoch assuming his responsibilities.
