This is a big loss for Fox,\u201d <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepThomasMassie\/status\/1650526648767328258?s=20\">tweeted<\/a> Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But for Republicans who disagreed with his populist and sometimes conspiratorial bent \u2013 let alone those who were the target of it \u2013 the surprise of Carlson\u2019s exit was met with a sense of satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood riddance,\u201d said one GOP staffer. \u201cHe just spewed nonsense to millions of people and it had broad ramifications for discourse in our party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics think loss of a primetime Fox News slot could also cause a hit to Carlson\u2019s credibility, but still expect him to retain a level of influence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was a really annoying headache that might become less of a headache,\u201d said the GOP staffer said.<\/p>\n<p>Whether he was praising and boosting their positions or mocking and destroying them, Carlson\u2019s top-rated primetime show was an inescapable force for Republicans.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>A positive mention on Carlson\u2019s show could turn into a fundraising email and highlight reel, while a negative one could prompt a wave of angry constituent phone calls and full-blown crisis communications protocol.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s willingness to attack Republicans on everything from their support for Ukraine to their position on Jan. 6 was a key part of his <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eal for his fans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt changes things permanently. That\u2019s one of the few voices in the Republican party that would call out the nonsense from GOP senators, governors, and otherwise,\u201d Donald Trump Jr. said on Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk\u2019s show on Monday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s actually mind-blowing to me,\u201d Trump Jr. added about Carlson\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans who disagreed with him and chose to engage had on-screen clashes with Carlson. Last year, he argued with former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson (R) on vetoing a bill to limit access to gender-affirming medical treatments for transgender youth. And he sparred with Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Fla.) over Ukraine and immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s downplaying of the severity of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack and nodding to the false theory that federal agents helped incite the violence became a defining feature of his show \u2013 and major influence on the right.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr4_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI owe a lot to Tucker. Tucker Carlson gave me a platform to defend myself against the attacks from the January 6 committee when they first subpoenaed me,\u201d said Alex Bruesewitz, a Trump-aligned Republican strategist. \u201cHe was the only anchor at Fox who was willing to discuss the political persecution of Trump and his allies. And that\u2019s gonna be a big blow to people who care about truth and honesty and justice in this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But other Republican strategists \u2013 though they have little incentive to say so publicly \u2013 saw Carlson\u2019s aggressive attacks on Republicans and his flirtation with conspiracy theories and extremists as a contributing factor in Republican electoral challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Carlson emboldened and empowered some of the worst actors on the far right and as a result, Republicans have lost numerous winnable elections these last few cycles,\u201d another GOP operative lamented.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr5_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Still, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) \u2013 who Carlson had once criticized as a puppet of the Democratic Party \u2013 granted Carlson exclusive first access to security footage from Jan. 6, a move that acknowledged the Fox News host\u2019s unmatched influence on the right.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d acted at times as a one-stop shop to get an important message out in the conservative ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and George Santos (R-N.Y.) each joined the show when they were in the midst of allegations about their personal lives. In recent weeks, both entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and radio host Larry Elder launched Republican presidential primary bids with appearances on his show.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr6_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>While Carlson is leaving Fox News, neither his Republican fans nor critics expect his influence to vanish \u2013 and are waiting to see his next move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTucker is the most successful, insightful, and courageous commentator of our time. More Americans look to him for guidance on the pressing issues of the day than any politician, including President Biden,\u201d said a conservative strategist. \u201cHis voice will not be lost. I expect we will see him again very soon and better than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
