Fox News thinks Boris Johnson was ousted because he ‘became woke’ – no, really!
As a rule of thumb, if it’s on Tucker Carlson’s show, it didn’t happen, and this so-called explanation of Boris Johnson’s downfall fits right in with that.

He was going to stick it to the elites, but he very quickly got sucked in by the sort of globalist agenda, you know, he spent a lot of time sucking up to Macron and Merkel that he forgot he’s a Conservative.
He went very hard on lockdown, very hard on vaccines. He became woke and then he fully signed up to this Greta Thunberg idea of the world is ending.
He fell in with that elite crowd and he was travelling the world. He did a lot of time trying to save Ukraine and all of these things.
He even had the hair like Trump but it just didn’t come through in the end.
He became woke? We must have missed that while we were distracted by the racist and homophobic slurs, the boozy lockdown parties and finding out he had a £7000 rug.
People who actually know what happened, as opposed to someone who thinks making a video for Johnson’s leadership campaign makes them his advisor, were stunned by the nonsense they were hearing.
Wow. This is such an amazingly batshit rewriting of history BY AN OFFICIAL ADVISOR that I almost feel high. No mention of Partygate, Owen Paterson, tractor-fucking or sex-cases: Johnson had to resign because of GRETA THUNBERG???? https://t.co/zEJSaaQw8J

Boris got tricked by a woke wizard and forgot to give the working folk the golden eggs from the Brexit goose, so sad. https://t.co/r4K1CDBcyJ

This is a fabulous example of the bollocks that some figures on the British right talk when on American television and they think no one in Britain is ever going to see it. https://t.co/r8EUnPBb3z

"Fell in with the elites", yeah good job that didn't happen when he went to Eton. https://t.co/dh44smx91i— Meryl O'STREAMING ON NEXTUP NOW (@MerylORourke) July 12, 2022
A liar lying about a liar to a liar on a TV channel owned by a liar.
(Johnson was dumped for lying about a groper by the way.) #MurdochGutterMedia https://t.co/msXc24J25z

They’d have been better off inviting Larry the Cat onto the show.
For any of my friends unfamiliar with the circumstances of Johnson’s departure, this account is utter fantasy. The short explanation is that he’s haemorrhaged popularity following a long series of scandals so his party has dumped him because he’s become an electoral liability.
