The View reacts to Tucker Carlson's departure exactly as you'd expect them to, except even cringier

As soon as we got the news that Tucker Carlson and Fox News were going their separate ways, we braced ourselves for the onslaught of rejoicing from left-wing media hacks for whom Carlson has been the bane of their existence. Despite their best efforts, he’s consistently managed to be more interesting to the public and infinitely more popular ratings-wise.

With Tucker out of the way, maybe some of the benchwarmers will finally get their chance to shine! If people can’t watch Tucker Carlson on Fox News anymore, maybe they’ll turn to shows like “The View” for their hot topics fix. We can only assume that the women of “The View” are thinking along those lines given the enthusiasm with which they greeted the news of Carlson’s departure:

You can almost hear the sound of their pee hitting the floor as they revel in the moment. Whoopi Goldberg and Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sunny Hostin and Ana Navarro put on quite a performance and no doubt let their excitement get the better of their control over their own bodily functions.

You’d think Whoopi Goldberg in particular would be nervous right now, given the trouble she’s gotten herself into on “The View.” Guess she just got caught up in the moment. A moment that evidently didn’t leave enough time to address Don Lemon’s own sudden departure from CNN (and CNN’s subsequent contradiction of Lemon’s version of events).
