Kayleigh McEnany’s racist “joke” about Black Jordan Neely protesters was not just hideous but a clear indication she’s more than willing to align with Tucker Carlson’s white supremacist fans when she takes over his slot next week.

The response from Media Matters was perfect.

Lying Kayleigh McEnany is probably even more dishonest and almost as vicious as Tucker Carlson. So long as she doesn’t defame anyone or any entity that could sue for big bucks, she’ll probably be perfect for Fox “News” prime time.

The more Fox News seems determined to make us think Tucker Carlson was fired for his racism and misogyny the worse I think the real reason was.

Fox may have done Tucker Carlson a favor by firing him.

“You don’t want me to get into it, but I can tell,” said Jesse Watters, likely auditioning for Tucker Carlson’s primetime slot.

He also tells Media Matters to “Go f*** yourself.”

Somebody leaked behind-the-scenes footage of Tucker Carlson complaining about Fox Nation to Media Matters. More leaked video may be coming.

Will this set off the same kind of Fox News panic that sparked the Dominion defamation suit?

I’m sure Fox News was happy to be rid of Tucker Carlson for all the reasons they say. But since Fox held on to Carlson despite all the headaches and the lost advertising revenue, I argue that something really big must have come up. With the Murdochs, that has to mean something monetary.
