Tucker Carlson has called out his former employer Fox News as “anti-Christian” more than two years after the network fired him.
When Carlson appeared on Sunday’s episode of the “Culture Apothecary” podcast, host Alex Clark asked how his wife, Susan Andrews, reacted to Fox suddenly axing his political talk show “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” which ran from 2016 to 2023.
Carlson shared that his wife was actually enthusiastic.
In fact, he told Clark, Andrews thanked God upon hearing the news.
“No way,” Clark replied. “Why’d she say that, you think?”
The conservative pundit responded: “She thought they were really anti-Christian.”
Asked if he agreed with his wife, Carlson declared, “Oh, of course. It just makes them uncomfortable.”
The political commentator then claimed that someone at Fox News “would be out of there” if they brought up a particular topic.
“If you said, on Fox — which I don’t think I ever did, I probably should have — but like, ‘Hey, how are the Christians of the West Bank doing?’” he said.
He continued, “How’s Bethlehem doing, where Jesus was born? The church and the Nativity, it’s got to be, if that’s not the most sacred site in Christendom, I’m not sure what is … Let’s call the rector of the church and Nativity and ask him what he thinks of Israeli occupation.”
Carlson added: “Just as a Christian, I think it’s totally fair. Whoa, I mean, you’d be out of there.”
