Opinion: Goodbye Tucker Carlson. I’ll miss the cartoons.

Tucker Carlson will no longer be on Fox News. The announcement Monday that Carlson and Fox had parted ways came after Fox had agreed to pay out three quarters of a billion dollars to Dominion in a defamation lawsuit that rested heavily on Carlson’s on-air reporting about election fraud coupled with his off-air text messages indicating he thought it all was a hoax.

To mark this moment, I’ve pulled some of the best Tucker Carlson cartoons from over the years because sometimes a drawing is worth a thousand words.

Cartoons: Donald Trump, acquittal and the rule of law

It’s been a big week for President Donald Trump.

Last Tuesday he delivered a State of the Union address that included a Presidential Medal of Freedom for Rush Limbaugh and Nancy Pelosi ripping up a ceremonial copy of the speech.

The next day he was acquitted of impeachment charges by a GOP-controlled Senate and he subsequently removed a number of employees who testified as part of the House investigation from the White House.
