NFL legend Brett Favre called for a boycott of Fox News on Monday, following the network’s decision to cut ties with host and Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson.
“I’m with Tucker. Time to boycott Fox until they come to their senses and let the man speak,” Favre wrote to his Twitter followers on Monday morning. The statement was joined by a montage video featuring Sirius XM host Megyn Kelly decrying Fox’s decision to cut Carlson from his show, followed by clips of Carlson from his iconic primetime show.
In the clip featuring Kelly, she suggested that the reason Carlson and Fox have been unable to come to terms on a deal is because the network wants to silence him. “He needs to be silenced while Fox tries to rebuild that disappearing audience,” Kelly stated.
