We reported yesterday that two of the Never Trump brigade – Stephen Hayes and Jonah Goldberg – officially resigned as contributors to Fox News over Tucker Carlson’s new January 6th special.
Perhaps one of the funniest things that people said about that news was that they didn’t even know that the two were still even appearing on Fox, which only goes to show how much anyone paid any attention to them.
didnt realize people like jonah goldberg and stephen hayes were *still on* fox news lol

As we noted, according to Hayes, he claimed that the special on the topic itself would “lead to violence. Not sure how we can stay,” he said in response to Goldberg saying he was “tempted just to quit Fox over this.”
The New York Times was informed of their decision.
“Mr. Hayes, 51, and Mr. Goldberg, 52, spoke to me over video from their homes in the Washington, D.C., area, both clad in athleisure and sporting graying beards.”

That says a lot for Hayes, Goldberg and others who pretend to be conservatives but run to The New York Times. They seem to have more problems with Fox than the liberal media which has been lying its way for many years.
This just proves that Democrats can accept other viewpoints better than they can. They talk about Tucker’s Jan. 6 special on The Dispatch saying it amplifies conspiracies but then failed to list even one specific issue with the report.
Goldberg and Hayes certainly have an inflated opinion of their own self-importance – a trait that many Never Trumpers have in common. For example, think Bill Kristol and Jen Rubin. Democrats are the only person who seems to have any money for them at this time, just like most Never Trumpers. Because he spoke of them becoming obsessed with Donald Trump, I wrote previously about the infighting that took place between people at Bulwark and Goldberg. But as we can see with Goldberg’s own reaction, he’s pretty much still guilty of that as well.
Let’s just say that the reactions to the resignations of Hayes and Goldberg weren’t exactly people being broken up by their departure. Here’s our Managing Editor:
We are grateful to Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg for helping us get out of our misery. Now we won’t need to be entertained by your absurd and unsensical comments while viewing Fox News. FNC brass: I have a suggestion. @RealKiraDavisAs their replacements?

Also, yes, I agree with her on having Kira Davis instead. When you need intelligence and principle, that’s Kira Davis.
But we can’t talk about the reactions to the announcement without noting Tucker Carlson’s reaction to it. Their monumental announcement must have broken him up, surely? It’s not quite true. You can’t go wrong with Tucker.

And that’s why his ratings are the highest in cable television while Goldberg and Hayes are out the door.
