Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News host who left the network last week amid controversy, will make his first public appearance since his departure on Thursday. He will speak at a fundraiser for Rainbow Omega, a Christian organization that supports adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities.
According to The Daily Caller, a conservative news site that Carlson co-founded, he will appear at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Oxford, Alabama, for the event. The venue has a capacity of 1,200 and tickets are still available online.
Rainbow Omega is a nonprofit organization that provides residential and vocational services to adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Its mission is to “glorify God by ensuring that adults with developmental disabilities have a permanent and safe home where their abilities and potentials are respected and nurtured in a Christian environment”, its website states.
Carlson faced some backlash for his role in spreading the claims about the 2020 election and Dominion voting machines, which ended in a nearly $800 million settlement between Fox News and Dominion. Carlson was one of the defendants named in the lawsuit, along with other Fox News personalities and guests.
Carlson’s exit from Fox News has caused a significant drop in the network’s ratings, as many of his loyal viewers have tuned out or switched to other conservative outlets. Carlson’s show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, was the most-watched cable news program in 2022, averaging 3.4 million viewers per night.
I’m sure that the event is likely going to sell out, because Tucker Carson is a very well-respected journalist and news host. We all know that what was done to him was wrong and is the result of RINOs and corrupt corporate media. But in the end, Tucker will have the last laugh. It’s already showing that people are breaking ties with Fox News since they let Tucker go.
