Tucker Carlson lawyer tells Republicans to stop appearing on 'censored' Fox News
Attorney Harmeet Dhillon, who is currently representing former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, ramped up her attacks on Carlson's one-time employer on Monday.
Writing on Twitter, Dhillon revealed that she has boycotted Fox News for its efforts to "silence" her client.
"For all the friends who have been asking 'why don’t we see you on Fox anymore?' — This is why," she wrote.
"I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society. Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it’s not a place for me. And I feel for my friends working at the network which has clearly caved into pressure from some quarter to silence Tucker Carlson.
"What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news. Keep that in mind as you make your viewing and your commenting choices."
Dhillon went on to encourage elected Republicans to completely boycott the network to punish it for its treatment of her client.
"For all the members of Congress, culture warriors, 'influencers,' GOP officials — do you really want to air your views on a network that spits on its viewers, leaks oppo on its own talent, and even threatens former talent for speaking, for free, on Twitter?!" she wrote. "You have free will!"
Fox News has sent Carlson a cease-and-desist letter telling him to stop broadcasting his program over Twitter, as the network argues it still has exclusive rights to any content he produces until his contract expires at the end of 2024.
