Tonight, as Donald Trump finished his Oval Office address announcing a travel ban between the U.S. and Europe, except for the U.K., Gretchen Carlson tweeted out what she would never have been able to say on Fox News.
I think it’s safe to conclude that Gretchen Carlson is not a fan of Donald Trump or his response to the coronavirus.
From hoax to “I’m going to continue shaking hands” to @KellyannePolls saying #Corona was CONTAINED Friday .. this is quite a shift from Trump .. closing down all flight to Europe .. economic loans to small businesses .. while still reading the teleprompter like a 5 yr old

Nicely said, Ms. Carlson!

Do you like this post?

I will say that it occurred to me after I wrote this post that it’s possible Carlson is looking for a job at another cable network and is being calculating. But I don’t care. In the age of Trump, I take my allies where I find them and as they are.
I would love to know Carlson’s feelings about Fox News and her role there; what, if any, regrets she has and what she’d say about the network in the post-Ailes, Trump TV era.
One thing is clear… unlike Megyn Kelly, Carlson is not looking to return to Fox. I give her props for that.

I know how you feel, but I must plead in Gretchen’s RELATIVE defense, on the same basis that I say the right-wing evangelicals are blind to, i.e. that there are greater and lesser sinners. Yes, Gretchen was (and perhaps to some degree still is politically) a sinner, but she is not in the same league as Trump tramps like Jeanine Pirro. And Gretchen’s erstwhile sidekick, Doocy, was not in Gretchen’s league, in a bad way for Doocy. I remember he and Killmeade sitting there blankly while Gretchen jumped in to disavow the statement of an interviewee comparing Obama to Hitler.
Bottom line: Anyone who has taken $20 million out of Fox News’ hide can’t be all bad.

Hersh, if you was still on Fox news you would be in line still with his message, HERSH chyle HERSH

This woman played her part in the dumbing down and the cynical dividing of America, just like her fellow actors Doocy and the other one. I like that she feels free to voice her actual opinions these days, but her sins will never be forgiven. Not by this old boy, at any rate.
