Tucker Carlson was taken off air by Rupert Murdoch because of overtly religious remarks Fox News' highest-rated host made during a recent speech, according to Vanity Fair.
...........
Describing the debate over abortion and transgender rights, he told the audience: "what you’re watching is not a political movement. It’s evil."
Carlson added: "I’m not calling for religious war. Far from it. I’m merely calling for an acknowledgement of what we’re watching".
He said that engaging in debate no longer works. "I’ve tried. That doesn’t work," he said.
He went on to suggest that he has concluded praying for the future could be more powerful.
He said: "Maybe we should all take just 10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it. I’m serious. Why not?"
According to one source close to Mr Murdoch, the language drove his decision to remove Carlson.
“That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk,” the source told Vanity Fair.
...... The report was by the same journalist who claimed in May that Mr Murdoch called off his engagement to Ann Lesley Smith because he had become “increasingly uncomfortable” with his fiancee’s outspoken evangelical views.
According to Vanity Fair, Mr Murdoch had witnessed Carlson and his fiance discussing religion on a previous occasion.
A source told the publication that Carlson, reportedly a favourite of Ms Smith, had dinner with the couple at Mr Murdoch’s Bel Air vineyard in late March.
........
During the meal, Ms Smith reportedly produced a Bible and read passages from the Book of Exodus.
Mr Murdoch simply “sat there and stared,” the source said. Days later, his engagement to Ms Smith was called off.
Vanity Fair noted that by taking Carlson off the air, Mr Murdoch had also cut his former fiance’s "favourite show" on the network.

So Carlson was fired for expressing Constitutionally protected religious beliefs. Got it. Hope he's got some slavering pitbull attorneys who've got it too.
I KNEW IT!!
When I heard Tucker claim at his Heritage Foundation speech that the Biden administration was identifiable by its evil I was ecstatic. Finally, a talking head who gets it, straight and true. Evil was required to reply in kind, and did.
Didn’t he say that at the Heritage foundation?. Not while on Fox.
But Mrs Smith wasn’t even near New Testament work. Murdoch got upset with just Exodus??? That is someone who holds progressivism pretty deeply.
Plus he didn’t even say it on Fox
It was at a function
The reasons given are whatever fits the agenda. But I agree, the left thinks they are God.
Agree.
That Vanity Fair speech is the reason I gave here right after his firing was announced. I knew that hard hit on abortion and child mutilation was not going to sit well with TPTB.
(I wonder if there’s a reason that when I see “Murdoch” in print, my brain sees “Moloch”. Hmmmm...)
Then I guess Rev. Mike Pence won’t be invited on FOX in the future.
I believe this is true
Every excuse offered but the real one, Tucker was removed because he was getting to close for biden and his criminal op and the never ending destruction of this country by the rest of these parasites
Tucker was fired over the Dominion settlement at the Biden admin insistence.
In spite of his interest in Catholicism and his papal knighthood, however, Murdoch did not eventually convert and so remains a Presbyterian.

That's why I call liberals: Demoncrats. Demonic influence, or gasp, possession is real. Tucker just pointing it out.
Planted story....fake. Telegraph has been carrying ‘water’ a good bit lately....pretending it’s news.
Yes! Tucker’s speech and his ensuing termination completed the demolition of the anti-Trump wing of the Republican party. There now is nothing standing between Trump and the demons on the left.
Clever, but reality is not a Rorscharch design. There actually is a singular reality. It is creation. The penultimate evil is the denial of reality. The ultimate evil is the denial of the Creator of reality.
President Trump certainly had a lot of Christians around him (though I’m not generally aligned with some of them - but there were the people from Alabama that went there to pray with him).
Maybe this was extended to Tucker’s comment about praying?
Dunno. Some of them get really freaky. I’ve witnessed a couple in person. Some of them get animated when you directly quote the Scriptures in their presence. One was my boss; at a church organization no less. It’s quite a thing to see in action.
Tucker had nothing to do with Dominion, but what you say could also be a possibility.
I heard from several attorneys I have watched that FOX actually had a good winnable case to fight Dominion yet they never went that route.
Odd that is.
[Demons HATE the word “Christ”. They hate the Cross. They hate the Bible. They hate Christians.]
That’s correct. In a post just above I mention a couple of encounters (in general, one specific). I have always believed it was the spirit(s) inside of them acting out.
