A text message sent by Tucker Carlson that set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial showed its most popular host sharing his private, inflammatory views about violence and race.

The discovery of the message contributed to a chain of events that ultimately led to Mr. Carlson’s firing.

In the message, sent to one of his producers in the hours after violent Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Mr. Carlson described how he had recently watched a video of a group of men — Trump supporters, he said — violently attacking “an Antifa kid.”

REDACTED PORTION OF EXHIBIT 276
Tucker Carlson January 7, 2021 — 04:18:04 PM UTC
A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?

    Yeah. I saw that.

    I'm scouring right wing media. Crickets.

    To quote ol Will? Much ado about nuthin.



  2. by Ponderer on May 3, 2023 6:16 am

    So... Nothing that happens is of "much ado" until it's reported by right wing media. I see.

    I like how you think you are hiding your true thoughts with cavalier brevity.

    And I love how that fails you every time.


  3. by HatetheSwamp on May 3, 2023 6:26 am

    So, describe how these words offend you.


  4. by Ponderer on May 3, 2023 6:46 am

    No, you describe how you think you aren't defending a racist.


  5. by HatetheSwamp on May 3, 2023 6:53 am

    po,

    I ain't woke.

    So, is that YOU think white men do fight?


  6. by Ponderer on May 3, 2023 7:34 am

    Go fukk yourself already, Bill. Geez, you are way behind schedule...


  7. by HatetheSwamp on May 3, 2023 7:55 am

    po,

    First news item I saw this morning was this news about Tucker. So, I prepared myself to survey right wing media at 6:00 EDT. I did just that.

    As you may know, the two big stories over here have been Tucker/Fox and Bud Light.

    Seriously, it was crickets on Tucker. I couldn't see how anyone who isn't a woke hater'd give, as you'd say, an effin eff. And, apparently, I was right.


  8. by Ponderer on May 3, 2023 8:21 am

    Nothing that happens is of "much ado" to you until it's reported by right wing media. I already got that, Bill. Why are you belaboring the point?


  9. by HatetheSwamp on May 3, 2023 8:27 am

    It's same old, same old, po.

    You exist deep within your subjectivity, and have no self-awareness.
