Is This the Text that Got Tucker Carlson Fired? Watch

The New York Times claimed that it knows the exact text that caused Tucker Carlson to be  fired from Fox News and his highly-rated program, “Tucker Carlson Tonight.” The outlet is alleging that a text sent to a producer was inflammatory and “set off a panic at the highest levels of Fox on the eve of its billion-dollar defamation trial” against Dominion Voting Systems.

The text message was sent to a producer on Carlson’s show just after the January 6th Capitol riot. In the message, Carlson wrote: “It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight.”

Here’s the message in its entirety:

“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?”

The Times reported that the text alarmed the Fox board, which saw the message a day before Fox was set to defend itself against Dominion Voting Systems before a jury. The board was concerned that the message could become public at trial when Mr. Carlson was on the stand.
