Fox News Star Trashes Tucker’s Jan. 6 ‘Bullshit’ Following Ouster
Geraldo Rivera said on Wednesday that Tucker Carlson’s “perverse” conspiracies about the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection were “bullshit,” kicking some dirt on his ex-colleague’s proverbial grave following the primetime star’s ouster from Fox News.
While Rivera publicly called out the far-right nationalist host, his network has largely pretended Carlson doesn’t exist since firing him. Following the network’s announcement of Carlson’s exit on Monday morning, his name has only been uttered a handful of times on Fox News airwaves—and briefly at that.
“I don’t wish ill on anybody, but there is no doubt—as I said at the time—Tucker Carlson’s perverse January 6 conspiracy theory was ‘bullshit,’” the Fox News correspondent-at-large tweeted. “Having lost the election President Trump incited an insurrection that sought to undermine our Constitutional process.”
