Quote:Tucker Carlson received an offer from Russian state media after Fox News announced it would part ways with the longtime host on Monday.
Fox announced Monday morning that Carlson would be departing from the network, writing in a statement that the conservative host's last show aired on Friday. Fox wrote, "FOX News Media and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways. We thank him for his service to the network as a host and prior to that as a contributor."
Carlson, a conservative firebrand, has faced criticism from the left over his stance on a variety of topics including the 2020 presidential election and the Russia-Ukraine war, as he has voiced criticisms against Ukraine and its president Volodymyr Zelensky, earning him praise from Russia. Despite these criticisms, Carlson frequently ranked among the most-watched cable news hosts, as conservatives support him.
The announcement that Carlson would be leaving the network drew strong reactions from both his supporters and critics on social media Monday, including from the Kremlin-affiliated news outlet Russia Today (RT).
RT, which has previously published news articles in support of Carlson, appeared to make an offer for him to appear on their network.
"Hey @TuckerCarlson, you can always question more with @RT_com," RT tweeted.
