Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson fired at the same time? Twitter is having a field day

Media personalities Don Lemon, left, and Tucker Carlson were both fired Monday by their respective TV networks. “f— him.” Right-wing figures — including political commentator Candace Owens, apparent business heir Donald Trump Jr. and former Fox News host Megyn Kelly — also reacted to Carlson’s unexpected departure. “This is a terrible move by Fox, and it’s a great thing for Tucker Carlson,” Kelly said on her eponymous radio show. “I don’t know what drove Fox News to make this decision, and it was clearly Fox News’ decision because they’re not letting him say goodbye.. Talk about misjudging your audience yet again.. Tucker’s the only reason a lot of people still watch Fox News.” On Monday’s episode of “The View,” panelists Whoopi Goldberg and Ana Navarro led the studio audience in a celebratory wave and chant of “Na na na na, hey hey, goodbye.” “He is responsible for the degradation that we see somewhat of our democracy in this country,” said “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin. Lemon dismissed the misogyny reports as “15-year-old gossip.” But he apologized for suggesting during a recent broadcast of “CNN This Morning” that politician Nikki Haley was no longer “in her prime.” “I guess you’ve gotten away with so much, you’re shocked by consequences,” one person tweeted in response to Lemon’s statement about his firing.
