Report Suggests Tucker Carlson Was Fired Over Prayer Talk: 'Freaks Rupert Out'
Tucker Carlson may have been fired from Fox News after going too hard on the ?prayer talk,? according to a new report in Vanity Fair.
A source briefed on Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch?s decision-making said Carlson was ousted over remarks he made during a speech Friday night at the Heritage Foundation?s 50th Anniversary gala in Maryland, according to Vanity Fair?s Gabriel Sherman.
The source said Carlson?s speech was laced with religious overtones that were too extreme even for Murdoch. During the address, Carlson called abortion ?child sacrifice,? cast American politics as a battle between ?good and evil? and suggested the solution was taking ?10 minutes a day to say a prayer about it.?
The source told Vanity Fair, ?that stuff freaks Rupert out.?
?He doesn?t like all the spiritual talk,? the source said.
