Politicians have strong opinions of Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The announcement on Monday of the conservative host’s departure from the media outlet drew a mixed reaction from Republicans, with some applauding Carlson’s move while others criticized the media star for his polarizing coverage.

“I STAND WITH TUCKER CARLSON!” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) wrote on Twitter.

Kari Lake, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and television host, congratulated Carlson on the move.

“The best decision I ever made was leaving Fox. Good for you, @TuckerCarlson. You’re free & uncensored!” she tweeted.

Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, who frequently lambasted the Fox News host in the past, said it’s “about time” after all his “lies and defamation.”

Democrats echoed a similar sentiment, characterizing Carlson’s departure as a win for democracy.

“Crazy thought, but maybe it’s time to face some consequences after blatantly lying to millions of Americans and actively eroding democracy for years,” Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) wrote on Twitter.

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) blasted the primetime host, calling his program “a sewer of countless lies and hate spewed out every single night” in a tweet. “One of the leading election deniers and opponents of democracy in America and abroad will no longer have a primetime platform. That’s a good thing.”

The announcement by Fox News was followed shortly after by CNN host Don Lemon’s announcement that he was fired by his company, citing “some larger issues at play.”
