Tucker Carlson's most dedicated fans are apparently canceling their Fox Nation subscriptions following the news that the host has been axed.
The controversial and outspoken presenter first joined Fox back in 2009, per the NY Times, but his usual 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' show was nowhere to be seen on Monday night.
Instead, viewers were greeted by Brian Kilmeade hosting 'Fox News Tonight' - with Kilmeade quickly glossing over Carlson's departure.
"As you probably have heard, Fox News and Tucker Carlson have agreed to part ways," Kilmeade informed viewers. "I wish Tucker the best. I’m great friends with Tucker and always will be. But right now, it’s time for 'Fox News Tonight', so let’s get started..."
The Independent has since reported that Fox News announced on Monday that it had "parted ways" with Carlson - who was undoubtedly its biggest presenter. The announcement came just days after the company settled a $787 million defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over lies about the 2020 Presidential Election.
In response to the settlement, Fox said in a statement: "We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues."
Now, however, with Carlson gone, it seems like the network may have other issues to contend with, as many of the host's fans have vowed to cancel their Fox Nation subscriptions.
Fox Nation is a Fox News subscription video-on-demand service that launched back in 2018 and sees users pay $5.99 per month (or $64.99 per year for The Patriot Plan) for "entertaining and informative shows that highlight the unique stories, history, and people", according to the Fox website.
But now, subscribers are threatening to cancel their memberships - with some (apparently) already doing so.
Writer Scott Morefield tweeted: "I just canceled my Fox Nation subscription with the note: 'No Tucker Carlson, no Fox Nation subscription. Goodbye.' Who is doing the same?"
And one Twitter user - who describes themselves as "Ultra-MAGA" - tweeted a screenshot of their cancelation, captioning the post: "Just canceled my #FoxNation subscription! FU @FoxNews #TuckerCarlson was the only reason I still watched!!"
A third tweeted: "Just canceled my Fox Nation subscription. No point in having it w/o Tucker Carlson Originals."
"Effective immediately I have canceled my @foxnation subscription," wrote a fourth, adding: "Can’t wait to see where Tucker Carlson lands."
And a fifth tweeted: "Today I canceled my Fox Nation subscription. Tomorrow I’ll be returning all three cable boxes for my TV’s. I don’t need them anymore, since the only reason I kept them was to watch Tucker Carlson Tonight & Today. @FoxNews blew it."
However, one person who was clearly happy with Carlson's departure was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who shared her brutal comments in a recent social media post. You can check that out here.
