Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) waxed poetic about the career peregrinations of Tucker Carlson after his parting ways with Fox News today, saying that “Wherever Tucker Carlson goes, America will follow!”

Thank you for being one of the greatest and most powerful voices in the conservative movement.
Can’t wait to see what’s next!
Boebert may be right, based on Carlson’s history. If a cat has nine lives, then there is something decidedly feline about Carlson, who has landed on his broadcasting paws over and over.
As Rep. Brendan Boyle (D-PA) says: “Congrats to Tucker Carlson upon becoming the first tv host in history to be fired by CNN, MSNBC, and FOX News – the cable tv Triple Crown!”

Boebert also thanked the former Fox News talking head — before the ink was fully dry on his departure deal — “for being one of the greatest and most powerful voices in the conservative movement.” Boebert was a frequent guest for Carlson, who encouraged her to opine. She evidently appreciated the platform.
Like everyone else it seems, Boebert took the news as part of a twofer, with the announcement that Don Lemon — who called GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley “past her prime” — is out at CNN.
Boebert wrote: “Looks like Don Lemon was actually the one past his prime.”
