By The FirstTucker Carlson has spoken out for the first time since news broke on Monday that he was parting ways with Fox News. On Tuesday evening, a reporter for the UK tabloid Daily Mail caught up with Carlson outside his home in Boca Grande, Florida, where he seemed to be taking the news in stride.
“Retirement is going great so far,” Carlson told the Daily Mail, flashing a broad smile while jetting along in a golf cart with his wife, Susan. The former host of Tucker Carlson Tonight also joked about his future plans, saying, “Appetizers plus entree.”
Carlson went on to reveal that his departure from Fox News would finally allow him to enjoy some quality time with his family. “I haven’t eaten dinner with my wife on a weeknight in seven years,” he said.
The news of Carlson’s departure from Fox News came as a surprise to many, as he was one of the network’s most high-profile hosts. However, Carlson’s comments suggest that he is ready to move on to the next chapter of his life.
As for what that next chapter might entail, Carlson remained tight-lipped. But for now, it seems that he is content to enjoy his retirement and spend some much-needed time with his family.
