Tucker Carlson to make first public appearance after exiting Fox News | World news
Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is back in the news again, this time for an upcoming appearance at a charity event in Alabama. The event, which is held to benefit adults with mental and developmental disabilities, is Rainbow Omega, a Christian organization that believes in “the sanctity, dignity, and worth of the individual.”
This will be Carlson’s first public appearance since his sudden departure from Fox News last week. While the network said they “agreed with each other” that it was time for her to go, rumors swirled about the real reason for her departure. Some have speculated it was due to his controversial comments on race and immigration, while others suggested it was related to a lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.
Regardless of the reason, Carlson has remained firm about his departure from the network. His only statement so far is a low-resolution video where he promises to return in style to discuss topics including “humanitarian change.”
Critics have accused Carlson of using “dog-whistle” racism in his essay, and some have accused him of disparaging people with disabilities. However, the fact that he spoke at a charity event for adults with developmental disabilities and disabilities suggests that he may try to improve his image.
Tickets for the event range from $50 to $125, and come see what Carlson will discuss in his talk. Given his track record, he’ll likely touch on controversial topics, but he’s also likely to take a more mellow tone.
The event was held at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Oxford, Alabama, and is scheduled to take place at 7pm on Thursday. It’s unclear what Carlson’s long-term plans are, or what Fox News’ long-term plans are for the already occupied 8 p.m.
Regardless, Carlson’s appearance at the Rainbow Omega fundraiser is sure to generate plenty of attention. Whether he’ll take the opportunity to address the controversy surrounding his departure from Fox News remains to be seen, but it’s clear he has a lot of work to do to rebuild his reputation.
