Former Fox News host and conservative powerhouse Tucker Carlson is set to make his first public appearance since his unexpected exit from Fox last week.
At 7:00 P.M. EST on Thursday, Carlson will attend a fundraiser for Rainbow Omega, a group that helps adults with developmental disabilities, in Oxford, Alabama. According to the Oxford Performing Arts Center website, where tickets to the event can be purchased, all proceeds from the event will be given to Rainbow Omega. The group's name is derived from Biblical references to the rainbow as an image of hope, along with the last letter of the Greek alphabet (Omega). According to WEAR News, Rainbow Omega is "a faith-based non-profit organization that provides vocational and residential programs to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities." “He’ll be here Thursday. He’s honored what he said he would do.”
Hodge went on to say that Carlson's exit from Fox News has actually boosted ticket sales, with over 500 being sold since the news broke. He also said that he is "looking forward" to Carlson attending the event. “Anytime you have a featured speaker from the world of politics, with our country’s political divide, you can bet there’s a lot of interest. It was kind of an unusual situation. There has been renewed interest.”
The Oxford Performing Arts Center seats 1,200 guests. At the time of this writing, tickets to the event are still available, but they likely will not last long. At the time of his exit from Fox News, Carlson was the top-rated cable news host in the country, with an average of over 3 million nightly viewers. Have comments? Share them below.
