As I am sure everyone here knows, Tucker Carlson was pulled from the air by Fox News.
Notice I did not say fired because Tucker is still under contract.
Over the last few days, some tapes were leaked of Tucker Carlson during downtime in the studio.
It would appear that this was done to hurt Carlson, but it seems to have only energized the support behind him.
Cheap Attacks
I have watched a few of the videos and listened to some audio and I had to stop.
This, at least to me, was someone just joking around behind the scenes with a crew that he was obviously comfortable with.
For the most part, it was just nonsensical banter and kidding around.

To me, the entire text was not a big deal, but the media has been calling it both “racist” and “blood lusting.”
And we know why… so they get the clicks.
Even the reaction to that was not what people were hoping…
This is all they’ve got? A text in which Tucker mocks white people for not knowing how to fight for keeps, criticizing himself for dehumanizing a J6 Antifa rioter over politics, then expresses how doing so is wrong and destructive?
“If I don’t care about those things, if I…

There’s more honesty and humanity and charity in that one Tucker Carlson text than the entire corporate press could produce in a lifetime. And every word of it is 100% true.

I took Tucker’s text as a moment of self-awareness and nothing more, but we know how things operate these days.
One of the best responses that I have seen came from Megyn Kelly…
