A torrent of conservatives outraged by Monday’s abrupt departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News stormed to social media to announce the cancellation of their Fox Nation subscriptions.
Fox News announced the departure of Carlson, co-founder of the Daily Caller, in a Monday statement and said his last episode aired on April 21. Conservatives, including Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie and commentator Allie Beth Stuckey, said Carlson’s departure will lead to Fox News’ demise, with many calling him the “most successful” and “important” show host “in history.”
“@TuckerCarlson leaving Fox News,” Massie said. “He was the boldest they had! This is a big loss for Fox.”

“BREAKING: Tucker Carlson is out at Fox News. This is the biggest mistake Fox has ever made. I don’t know the reason for the exit but the timing couldn’t be worse for Fox,” former Republican Tennessee Senate candidate Robby Starbuck said. (RELATED: CNN Fires Don Lemon)

Tucker Carlson Tonight was the most successful cable news show in history.
The reason for it is simple: Tucker is a genius. He’s the smartest person I have ever met. His monologues could make you die laughing and make you tear up in an instant.
He also cannot be bought or…

Fox News is a ratings-obsessed network. Tucker Carlson had the most-watched show and Dan was an extremely popular guest and successful show host. This does not look like a pure business decision. It reeks of politics.

BREAKING: Tucker Carlson is leaving Fox News
I hope his next gig is a $100+ million deal with Spotify or Rumble
He is a fearless warrior for truth and has one of the biggest audiences in America
This isn’t the end of Tucker

The most important voice on the right just left the biggest media company on the right.
Whatever @TuckerCarlson does next, he’ll succeed.
If that something is running for president, the entire game just changed.

Really telling how many people I have heard from saying they are canceling their Fox Nation subscriptions and will no longer be watching Fox News after they announced Tucker’s show is over.

The network has yet to provide a reason for Carlson leaving the network, but said he and the network agreed to “part ways.” The network thanked Carlson for his time there as both a contributor and employee.
