The right-wing chudosphere will be merciless toward @JonahDispatch and @stephenfhayes for resigning as Fox contributors. But they made the right call. Nobody who loves this country should tolerate Tucker Carlson’s 1/6 revisionism even for a second. https://t.co/TOnL7cHPDM

Whatever else you might say about Goldberg or Hayes, they’re both dedicated careerists. Their simultaneous depersoning from the FOXosphere seems, to me, like a potentially hopeful sign. IMO, Tucker Carlson is the contemporary version of Father Coughlin in the 1930s, who was generally considered an unstoppable media force until, suddenly, he wasn’t.
