A LOT of people watched Tucker on Twitter

There’s one thing you can’t say about Tucker Carlson and that’s that he’s unpopular. When Carlson was on the air at Fox, he consistently rated as one of the most widely viewed cable television programs in America. Now, as he transitions to Twitter, it appears he’s taking his popularity with him. The first episode of Tucker on Twitter gained a massive amount of attention. As of this evening, Carlson’s show had already garnered a whopping 95 million views, 739,000 likes, and approximately 219,000 retweets.
So, yes, he’s a popular guy. That said, the most popular movie on Netflix right now is The Boss Baby, which is about a baby who is a boss, and the most visited restaurant in America is McDonald’s—so I think it’s safe to say that, when it comes to the American consumer, popularity doesn’t necessarily correlate to quality!
