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.”
It was “three against one, at least,” he wrote.
And then he expressed a sense of dismay that the attackers, like him, were white.
“Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously,” he wrote.
“It’s not how white men fight,” he said. But he said he found himself for a moment wanting the group to kill the person he had described as the Antifa kid.

Bet you dollars to donuts he said something else, this is utter crapola. He was fired because he attacked Big Pharma.
OMG!!! The humanity!!!!!
Now compare that to the racist crap that comes out of the mouth of al sharpton, revered by the demoKKKrat party as they genuflect before him on PMSNBC
So what? Besides, this is not from a reliable source.
So “Mr Carlson” was fired for saying the quiet part out loud.
The NYT thinks this will cause his supporters to flee screaming from his defense. Lol.
Mrs AV
See, white men aren’t allowed to talk about white men.
That is the goal here. To get people past the sale.
Nice article. No details about this attack, just alleging it was Trump supporters and a “kid”. What was this “kid” doing? Have never heard of anyone beating up an antifa person just for fun. Were they disarming him? Was he about to start a fire? Haven’t heard of this event before which is odd since the MSM would love to show that video umpteen times an hour. Maybe I missed it since I don’t watch television anymore but don’t recall it being mentioned here either.
No, they know his supporters will dig this.
This is aimed at those who didn’t watch his show.
Two years and three months ago Tucker said “White men” in a manner that some would take as disparaging persons of color and so when his show was topping out and his network was sued by the minions of leftists in election fraud and got hundreds of millions lost he had too go?
Sure, someone with TDS will believe it.
This NYT piece and Media Matters crap verifies what Tucker said about the mockingbirds: they want people talking/fighting about crap that doesn't matter while ignoring the real crap.
Has anyone seen my pearls? They need clutching.
So what if he did say that?
Yes. Definitely Bovine Scatology.
The leftists are flinging everything they can at Tucker. I hope he doesn't have any overdue library books.
I can’t believe what Fox is doing to him. They’re treating him like the press does Trump. The people at Fox are just evil. If they want to fire him, just do it. Why do they feel like they have to destroy him, too? And, by the way, this information they’re leaking is about as damaging to Tucker as the leaks were to Trump; totally ineffective because they’re nothing.
As with the Hunter laptop “CIA letter”, Trump Russia collusion story, etc., the MSM, while reporting it, knew all along it was completely made up nonsense.
Nothing any different here.
They (MSM) do not “BELIEVE!!!!” it.
You just realized that Fox is Evil?
Did Tucker explain why 13% of the population causes over 50% of the violent crime?
When Tucker sues Fox News, the company’s executives can take the stand and explain why they fired him.
From the New York Slimes!
