The trailer for Tucker Carlson’s special about the Jan. 6 mob at the Capitol landed online on Oct. 27, and that night Jonah Goldberg sent a text to his business partner, Stephen Hayes: “I’m tempted just to quit Fox over this.” “I’m game,” Mr. Hayes replied. “Totally outrageous. It will lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay.” The full special, “Patriot Purge,” appeared on Fox’s online subscription streaming service days later. And last week, the two men, both paid Fox News contributors, finalized their resignations from the network. “I’m game,” Mr. Hayes replied. “Totally outrageous. It will lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay.” The full special, “Patriot Purge,” appeared on Fox’s online subscription streaming service days later. And last week, the two men, both paid Fox News contributors, finalized their resignations from the network. In some ways, their departures should not be surprising: It’s simply part of the new right’s mopping up operation in the corners of conservative institutions that still house pockets of resistance to Donald J. Trump’s control of the Republican Party. Mr. Goldberg, a former National Review writer, and Mr. Hayes, a former Weekly Standard writer, were stars of the pre-Trump conservative movement. They clearly staked out their positions in 2019 when they founded The Dispatch, an online publication that they described as “a place that thoughtful readers can come for conservative, fact-based news and commentary.” It now has nearly 30,000 paying subscribers.

Hayes either.
Would bet my house they both voted for Biden.
I would call them “has been’s” except I don’t think they ever were anything.
Well that does say a lot. :)
Worse was Goldberg’s father. Longtime Deep State media manipulator:
(Also explains why such a mediocrity as Jonah was given a golden media career from the NR on.)
“I’m tempted just to quit Fox over this.”
"TOTES!"
“it will lead to violence”
They were shocked to find gambling in this casino
Fox Nation
Subscription channel. It costs about $5/month
Reminds me of the joke about:
What do you call a 100 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?
a good start.
I would call their departure from Fox News a good a start.
Steven Hayes???
Isn’t he that Never Trumper Bill Kristol wanna be RINO???
I believe everything Tucker says
And a reminder, Kristol isn’t just slithery and repulsive, he is pure evil. He was a prominent part of the “Project for a New American Century” (with Cheney and other noxious neocons) that published this in a major report (Rebuilding America’s Defences: Strategies, Forces And Resources For A New Century, was written in September 2000: https://cryptome.org/rad.htm):
“And advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool.”
Chris Wallace especially. He’s the worst.
Good. They are both detestable Trump haters.
Two Bush League flacks, no great loss..
Go easy on Mike Wallace Jr, he just lost two of his Sunday Morning Roundtable.
FOX’s gain is the world’s loss.
Fox Nation it’s free for one month.
What will lead to violence? Misinformation in Tucker’s piece? Or when people find out what has happened?
