Gov. Ron DeSantis may have took his time before offering comment on the end of Tucker Carlson’s career at Fox News, but now that he has, he is lavishing the controversial commentator with praise.
“Tucker Carlson is a fantastic individual. I think his show was fantastic. I think it’s terrible that he was fired. I think there’s more to it. I don’t really think it was about Tucker. I think it’s about some of this other stuff that’s going on with Fox,” DeSantis told a Newsmax interviewer.
Given that the Governor waited two weeks after the April 24 firing to speak out, information about the talk show host’s final days continues to leak from Fox. Video reveals him describing women in terms ranging from “post-menopausal” to “yummy,” and a text showed him expressing qualms about a three-on-one beatdown of an Antifa member, saying “that’s not how White men fight.”
“But, you know, he was somebody that was willing to speak out and challenge the prevailing orthodoxies and, you know, so he’s hitting the right issues and he’s talented,” DeSantis said. “He’s funny and it was a great show. I guarantee you whatever he does, he’s going to be very successful.”
The Governor then pivoted to claiming Carlson as a part-time son of the Sunshine State.
“And, oh, by the way, we’re proud because he’s a Florida resident and he loves the state of Florida. Doesn’t like the summers. He goes up to Maine for the summers.”
DeSantis went on to say Carlson’s departure revealed a marketplace need for “the truth.”
“But if you can hit a sweet medium there, there’s a lot of people that are hungry … that hunger for that type of access. I think a lot of people just want the truth. That’s all they want.”
Carlson’s show offered DeSantis a platform on many occasions, including one that continues to resonate. The Governor’s statement describing the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a “territorial dispute” was issued to Carlson, and DeSantis continues to explain his Ukraine position in the wake of that essay he provided Carlson being misunderstood.

THere’s one and only one reason Rhonda’s Panties would be slurping Tucker Frump’s clock like this. Rhonda thinks Tucker will be his VP. LOL. Tucker ain’t gonna be nobody’s VP. The Tucker ego does not allow for being last place on the two person ticket.

California, as with other already blue states, is too expensive. That, and that alone, is the reason people move to red states. Red states are worth less, but only for the moment. Purple costs more, blue gets pricey, and established blue? Boo hoo, hardly anybody makes that much money. I’ll stick with my the investments I made in a red state that’s fixing to turn purple. When my properties turn blue, I’ll sell, retire, move to another pre-purple area and do it again. Enjoy your lame job and b1thcing about how anybody can do what you do and how others will do your job for what it’s worth rather than what you wish you got paid, LoL. Keep punching that GOP lottery ticket. Someday you’ll be rich too, just as soon as that trickle down starts trickling down! LoLoLoLoLoL

Gov Ron graduated both Yarvard and Hale, yet he confuses “fantastic” with “fanatic.” Ivy League, Poison variety.

Tucker Carlson broadcasted racist conspiracy theories and constant barrage of lies. DeSantis is either naive or the same type of dude. Bad enough he had little to say about the Trump meltdown…Stop the Steal hoax.

Perhaps the bromance between “replacement theory” Tucker and “don’t say gay” DeSantis should be consummated in Hungary, where both could live in the authoritarian white Christian bliss they adore under the racist, homophobic and anti-semitic Viktor Orban, who seems to be their idol.

Gosh, he just gets worse every day, doesn’t he? Very “Trump-like” in that way. If I subscribed to the delusional fantasy of religious orthodoxy, I could only describe DeSantis as the true Anti-Christ , devoid of compassion, empathy, love, or basic human decency. To trumpet thugs like Limbaugh and Tucker, well, when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Good evening America,
I, Earl Pitts American, have been in contact with Tucker regarding the Vice POTUS position under POTUS Ron Desantis. We have a go on the proposal.
So my whole purpose of sharing this great news is to watch the dook 4 brains lefties go to new entertaining levels of screaming at the sky or whatever lefties do when they are super duper whizzed off.
Lets get used to it:
President Ron Desantis
Vice President Tucker Carlson
Think about that dook 4 brains lefties.
AND
Dook 4 brains RINO’s
Thank you America,
Earl Pitts “Owner Of America’s Dook 4 Brains” American

Are Canadians allowed to be VP? If the P croaks, the VP becomes P, so TC as VP probably can’t be… but it’s still pretty funny!: As if TC would actually accept being the VP half of the ticket.
