Tucker Carlson broke his silence in a video on Twitter two days after he was fired from his primetime post on Fox News.
Rich Polk | Getty ImagesThe right wing former primetime TV host, however, did not address his firing or what is next for him. Instead, in a video posted on Twitter, Carlson discusses his view on U.S. politics and the conversation taking place on cable news.
"When you take a little time off, you realize how unbelievably stupid the debates you see on television are, they're completely irrelevant. They mean nothing. In five years, we won't even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who participated," Carlson said in his video message on Wednesday.
On Monday, Fox News fired Carlson, noting his last show aired on Friday. Neither Carlson, nor his recently hired attorney Bryan Freedman, have responded to requests for comment since then. "FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways," the company said in a statement Monday. "We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor." Fox News representatives, which haven't commented past their Monday announcement, didn't immediately respond to comment Wednesday.
