Analysis: The now ousted Fox News personality drew more than 3 million viewers a night, the most in prime time for cable news. But the most loyal — or cowed — patrons were the more than 200 members of the House Republican Conference for the past few years.
And, just as Limbaugh was considered an oddity to Senate Republicans back then, Carlson drew mostly ire from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and his GOP colleagues on that side of the Capitol.“There have been some that have argued that he was setting foreign policy for the Republican Party. Which I find bizarre, certainly not for me,” Sen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday, the day after Carlson’s dismissal from Fox.
House conservatives couldn’t disagree more, predicting that Carlson would find a new platform and retain influence. a more amiable Fox News chat show at 5 p.m., for 11 of them. The conservative station’s 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. offerings, led by anchors Jesse Watters and Sean Hannity, drew more than 2.5 million viewers, just a few hundred thousand behind Carlson.
Carlson’s show-opening speeches, which varied between ideological arguments on policy to full-fury rants against Republican traitors to his cause, often delivered a different sort of response from viewers than other conservative news personalities.
