Tucker Carlson "open" to flat Earth theory

Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he is "open" to the flat Earth theory.

Carlson, once among the network's biggest stars and ratings draws, was abruptly let go from Fox News in late April for reasons that still remain unclear. The company itself declined to give specific reasons for the decision, with reports later suggesting that racially charged text messages uncovered during Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against the network may have spooked the board into parting ways. However, Carlson has since taken to X, formerly Twitter, to continue his political commentary, often speaking on major political issues.

In an interview with Blaze TV personality Alex Stein on Thursday, Carlson was asked about his thoughts on the flat Earth theory. The debunked theory claims that the world is a flat disc, instead of a spherical globe.
