In a recent appearance on the Benny Johnson Show, Mike Cernovich, a prominent figure in the online conservative space, shared his theory on the departure of Fox News’ top commentator, Tucker Carlson. Cernovich believes that Carlson’s removal from Fox News is part of a larger plan for a push toward war with Russia.
In an interview with Benny Johnson, Cernovich said, “It isn’t about corporate profits – we live in this delusion still on the right in the conservative world, the libertarian world, that these companies exist to make money, free market capitalism – yet we’ve watched companies make decisions over and over again that are bad for business that are insulting to their audience.”
Cernovich, who has been featured in multiple Tucker documentaries, suggested that Fox News is not concerned with ratings, but rather is “part of the regime.”
He added, “I think Murdoch said, you know what, we need nuclear war with Russia, we need World War III, it’s time to cook this up. We can’t have Tucker acting as a wedge against that.”
Cernovich also warned that people need to be aware of a potential push for war with Russia, saying, “My real concern right now is that we can expect a full frontal push for World War 3 and nuclear war with Russia and that’s why Tucker had to get removed from Fox. No dissenting voices now. Here’s what’s going to happen and watch for that push. Everybody needs to be aware of that.”
Mike @Cernovich explains why Fox News may have REALLY fired Tucker Carlson:

While some may dismiss Cernovich’s theory as conspiratorial, he believes that people need to consider the “spiritual dimension” and the influence of “bad entities” in these matters. He also criticized the idea that companies exist solely to make money, saying, “It’s more of a corporatocracy that we’re living in. This is a plutocracy that we’re living in.”
Earlier this week, Russia warned the United States that the risk of nuclear war is “steadily increasing” due to escalating tensions between the two nations over Ukraine, as the fate of the START treaty is in jeopardy if the US continues its course of confrontation.
Fox News has not yet commented on Cernovich’s theory, and it remains unclear why Tucker Carlson left the network.
