“The Daily Show” correspondent-turned-guest host Desi Lydic may detest most of what Tucker Carlson says, but on Tuesday night, she argued that there is one slur he’s allowed to use: the C-word.
Of course, that’s only “because he is one.”
On Monday, Fox News announced they had split with the controversial “Tucker Carlson Tonight” host, saying in a statement, “We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor.” No official reason for the firing has been revealed, and Carlson himself apparently wasn’t even told.
But a new report from The Daily Beast says that Carlson’s repeated use of the C-word “was a key factor in his demise.”
