Tucker Carlson has announced that he is going to take a 'long-planned' vacation and go trout-fishing followed revelations that his former head writer penned sexist and racist comments online
The Fox News host admonished those who he believed were delighting in the revelation of Blake Neff's forum posts and his subsequent resignation, calling them"ghouls."
"What Blake wrote anonymously was wrong. We don't endorse those words, they have no connection to the show," Carlson said on Monday night's show of former head writer Blake Neff, who resigned from his position on theon Friday. He added, "It is wrong to attack people for qualities they cannot control. In this country, we judge people for what they do, not how they were born.
The Fox News host also, however, admonished those who he believed were delighting in the publication of Neff's comments and his subsequent resignation, calling them "ghouls." Carlson said, "We should also point out to the ghouls now beating their chests in triumph at the destruction of a young man that self-righteousness also has its costs. We are all human. When we pretend we are holy, we are lying.
