According to a British online news outlet, Tucker Carlson’s cell phone lit up with well-wishes from neighbors in the small and serene Maine hamlet where he lives most of his summertime, only hours after he was fired from Fox News.
The 53-year-old has been one of the most divisive political critics in the nation, but locals in the sleepy hamlet of Woodstock say he’s always been kind to them.
The report shows that during the summer, Carlson spends his days at his studio, where he often takes a few minutes to talk with neighbors and occasionally meets out-of-state fans who have traveled to meet his fans.
A few hundred feet off the edge of Lake Christopher, he might be observed performing yard work or repainting shingles on his home.
