Tucker Carlson's Alarming Text on White Men's Fighting Tactics.

The board of Fox Corp. reviewed a text message sent by Tucker Carlson to one of his producers in early 2021, in which he described himself watching a video of Donald Trump supporters beating up someone he referred to as “an Antifa kid.” Carlson wrote of his conflicting emotions, hinting at his dismay that he had found himself “rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him.” The board alerted Fox executives that it planned to retain a law firm to investigate Carlson’s behavior. The text message added to a cascading set of concerns about Carlson within Fox News that led the company to fire him last week.
