Tucker Carlson received a standing ovation as he spoke at the Oxford Performing Arts Center in Alabama on Friday night at an event for the faith-based Rainbow Omega charity.
The organization booked Carlson last year before the latest controversies surrounding the television host and ticket sales had been slow until his firing last week, leading to a sold-out venue at the 1,200-seat Performing Arts Center.
From The Gateway Pundit:
Carlson did not directly address the issues surrounding his firing during his one-hour address but began his remarks alluding to his current employment status. “I’m probably the first unemployed person you ever invited to speak,” Carlson said getting a hearty laugh from the audience. “It’s funny. I rarely give speeches because I’m working and when I accepted this speech six months ago I didn’t realize how much free time I would have. One never knows, does one.” Carlson said he accepted the invitation “because I do love Alabama. It has everything that I like.”
