Tucker’s brilliant 2-min comeback video BLOWS AWAY Fox News views in first hour on Twitter

April 27, 2023 | | Print Article

Tucker Carlson returned to his familiar 8:00 p.m. time slot on Wednesday night but it wasn’t on Fox News. Instead, the network’s former host delivered a defiant message on Twitter that blew up the social media app and sent a resounding message that he is a force to be reckoned with.

Carlson, who his employer ousted on Monday, struck out at the “liars trying to silence people” in the short video in which he also spoke of hope in a time of darkness and that the truth would ultimately prevail over those who are determined to prevent it from being heard.

“Good evening, it’s Tucker Carlson,” he began with the familiar words that have opened his Fox News show before he was silenced by network bosses, first paying tribute to all of the “genuinely nice people” that there are in America before shredding the “unbelievably stupid” debates on television about things that don’t matter while real issues of importance are completely ignored.

“They are completely irrelevant. They mean nothing,” he said. “In five years, we won’t even remember that we had them. Trust me as someone who’s participated. And yes, at the same time, and this is the amazing thing, the undeniably big topics, the ones that will define our future, get virtually no discussion at all: War, civil liberties, emerging science, demographic change, corporate power, natural resources.”

“When was the last time you heard a legitimate debate about any of those issues,” Carlson continued. “It has been a long time. Debates like that are not permitted in American media.”

“Both political parties and their donors have reached consensus on what benefits them and they actively collude to shut down any conversation about it,” Carlson continued. “Suddenly the United States looks very much like a one-party state. That’s a depressing realization but it’s not permanent.”

“Our current orthodoxies won’t last. They’re brain-dead. Nobody actually believes them. Hardly anyone’s life is improved by them. This moment is too inherently ridiculous to continue,” Carlson said. “And so it won’t.”

“The people in charge know this, that’s why they’re hysterical and aggressive, they’re afraid,” Carlson pointed out. “They’ve given up persuasion, they’re resorting to force. But it won’t work.”

“When honest people say what’s true, calmly and without embarrassment, they become powerful. At the same time, the liars who’ve been trying to silence them shrink and they become weaker,” he said. “That’s the iron law of the universe, true things prevail.”

“Where can you still find Americans saying true things?” Carlson asked. “There aren’t many places left, but there are some and that’s enough. As long as you can hear the words, there is hope. See you soon.”

The video quickly surpassed the number of viewers tuning in to Fox News to watch his temporary replacement Brian Kilmeade in the 8:00 p.m. time slot on television, receiving 1.8 million views less than an hour after it was posted while Fox News received 1.7 million viewers. Carlson’s message had racked up over 20 million views by late Wednesday night and still counting.

Reactions to Carlson’s first words since it was announced that Fox News had pulled the plug on him poured in.

“Struck down, Tucker will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine,” predicted conservative columnist Kurt Schlichter.

The unusual absence of any fierce reaction from Democrats and their leftist shock troops shows that Carlson’s quick return caught them entirely off guard.
