During his tenure at FOX News, Tucker Carlson was an outspoken critic of wokeness in the U.S. Military and of U.S. support for the war in Ukraine.
Now that he is out at FOX News, there are people at the Pentagon who are celebrating this development.
These cowards commented anonymously, naturally.
Breitbart News reports:
Deep State Celebrates Tucker Carlson Departure from Fox with Anonymous Leaks
Senior ranking officials within President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense who spoke on condition of anonymity were reportedly filled with “delight and outright glee” at Tucker Carlson’s departure from Fox News, according to Politico.
Carlson’s segments on Tucker Carlson Tonight frequently criticized the upper ranks of the U.S. military for being “woke.”
“What if the woke brain virus began to infect the last remaining meritocracy in this country, the bedrock guarantee of our safety and our freedom? That’s the U.S. military. If that happened, it would be a legitimate disaster,” Carlson said in one program.
From the Politico piece:
‘Good riddance’: Pentagon officials cheer Tucker Carlson’s ouster
From maternity flight suits to diversity policies to Ukraine aid, the military was a favorite punching bag for Tucker Carlson. Now that he’s off the air, some Pentagon officials are quietly cheering his departure.
Carlson’s criticism of Biden-era personnel policies appealed to many of the rank-and-file, which has a large bloc of conservative members. But at the upper levels of the Defense Department, news of Carlson’s firing from Fox News on Monday was met with delight and outright glee in some corners.
“We’re a better country without him bagging on our military every night in front of hundreds of thousands of people,” said one senior DoD official, who like others interviewed for this story was granted anonymity to discuss a politically sensitive topic.
“Good riddance,” said a second DoD official.
Asked to respond to the news that DoD officials are pleased by his departure from Fox, Carlson responded by text message: “Ha! I’m sure.” He declined to comment further.
Ohio Senator J.D. Vance commented on Twitter:
Every “senior Pentagon official” who commented on this story while hiding behind anonymity is a coward. https://t.co/WIxQr2GhPO

The next Republican president is going to have to fire a lot of people.
They are such brave “officials” hiding behind their transgender dresses.
War rhymes with Whore just saying pardon my language.
All the woke perverts and weirdos at the Pentagram are undoubtedly happy.
I consider any military “deep stater” to be a traitor. Period. These slime will gladly follow any and all orders - just like the Germans did. Not even close to kidding.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the government told Fox to get rid of Tucker since it doesn’t make a ton of sense from a business standpoint
Tucker was the ONLY big media pundit that questioned our involvement in Ukraine, so it’s no wonder they want him out before we move on to the next stage where we attempt to provoke China into attacking Taiwan so we can then attempt to isolate them and restrict their international trade. This has been the plan of the neocons all along as was Ukraine proxy war. So they can’t allow any truthtellers like Tucker around to out their intentions. It’s also why they don’t like people like Elon Musk and Kennedy Jr, or anybody else who threatens their narrative. The only problem they have now is that some NATO countries like France are balking at cutting off trade with China. Macron knows exactly what the neocons are up to as do the other EU leaders, and they are slowly drifting out of the US orbit.
SMH.
Keep your loved ones OUT OF THE MILITARY. The Leftist warmongers in charge will get your loved ones killed just to bully foreign countries and “make a statement.”
J.D. Vance was a big win. Shows what happens when you don’t have rat SOS.
That is the sign of a military leadership that will harm the people it is supposed to be defending.
Sure they are. They want their Syrian adventure, they want war with Iran, they desperately chafe to be direct combatants in Ukraine. They want fat retirements in the defense industry. And they want to push their sicko woke agenda.
Tucker was in the way of that.
Why?
Why are they against Tucker’s reporting?
Do they claim he is wrong? Inaccurate? Incomplete?
No-
They just don’t want anyone challenging THEIR hegemony and their Grift.
Like many NeverTrumpers, they cannot see that THEY are the problem.
Tucker never once bagged on “the military.” Just on the incompetent fools whp pretend to run it.
Tucker can say whatever he wants in his next venture... whatever that ends up being...provided he is an independent.
Hopefully that is what happens.
Until they realize that now that he’s unshackled, he can be even more effective to the right.
Old Paul Harvey true story. Battery thief had cop come up an offer to hold the light, thinking it was the owner servicing his own car.
Parasites.
