There is happiness, and some gloating, among GOP lawmakers and conservative media commentators that Tucker Carlson, recently fired by Fox News, is back and will soon launch a show on a media platform that not long ago was the bane of many of the same people now celebrating the news. 

Carlson’s show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” on Fox News had the second most viewers of all cable TV shows with more than 3 million viewers.
