Texas and San Antonio lawmakers weigh in on the firing of Tucker Carlson

Texas lawmakers wasted no time Monday in commenting on Fox News' firing of controversial primetime television host Tucker Carlson. Their reactions ranged from right-wing zealot Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to lamenting the departure of a "good friend and a voice for millions" to Democratic Texas Rep. Diego Bernal, D-San Antonio, offering a dismissive two-syllable ciao. In a statement Monday, Fox revealed the host of Tucker Carlson Tonight ,“ its top-rated primetime personality, agreed to part ways.” The departure doesn't appear to have been planned in advance since Carlson told viewers Friday that he'd see them in the new week.
