Gabriel Sherman: “A new theory has emerged. According to the source, Fox Corp. chair Rupert Murdoch removed Carlson over remarks Carlson made during a speech at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th Anniversary gala on Friday night. Carlson laced his speech with religious overtones that even Murdoch found too extreme, the source, who was briefed on Murdoch’s decision-making, said. Carlson told the Heritage audience that national politics has become a manichean battle between ‘good’ and ‘evil.’”
“Carlson said that people advocating for transgender rights and DEI programs want to destroy America and they could not be persuaded with facts… The answer, Carlson suggested, was prayer.”
Said a source: “That stuff freaks Rupert out. He doesn’t like all the spiritual talk.”
