Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, has been banned from Tribel social, reports on Twitter claim. An account by the name Occupy Democrats first broke the news.
The social media platform – Tribel – was founded by Omar Rivero, who also runs Occupy Democrats. A tweet from the account said that Carlson is a ‘proven liar, racist, and insurrectionist who spreads Russian propaganda that threatens our democracy.’
“Tucker Carlson is hit with bad news as new Twitter competitor Tribel announces that they just permanently banned Carlson from their growing social media app, declaring that, “Tribel has decided to permanently ban Tucker Carlson from our network because Mr. Carlson is a proven liar, racist, and insurrectionist who spreads Russian propaganda that threatens our democracy. Banning him is necessary to protect our users,” the tweet read.
Carlson was fired by Fox News last month. On Tuesday, he said that he would relaunch his show on Twitter “soon.”
Fox News Media parted ways with the anchor after they had to settle for $787.5 million in a defamation lawsuit. After Carlson’s departure, his prime-time show ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’s’ ratings have slumped. The 53-year-old spoke about conservative issues.

“Starting soon, we’ll be bringing a new version of the show we’ve been doing for the last six and a half years to Twitter. We bring some other things too, which we’ll tell you about. But for now, we’re just grateful to be here,” Carlson said in a video posted on Twitter.
The platform’s owner Elon Musk shut down all speculations about a partnership between him and Carlson.
“We have not signed a deal of any kind whatsoever,” Musk tweeted Tuesday. “Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators.”
