Tucker Carlson was fired from FOX News for opposing a mob beating.
He crossed the line when he said in a private text message … that honorable White men fight one on one.
Just what I thought.
Real reason for Tucker’s firing is Fox discovered pro white sentiments in his private messages while they saw them in discovery. I strongly suspect there are comments about other ethnicities, as well.

If only Tucker Carlson Tonight was as epic as the New York Times thinks it was.
“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. …”
FOX News is leaking all of this stuff to Media Matters and the New York Times. They seem to be under the delusion that releasing clips and leaks is going to persuade the audience to hate Tucker and to come back and watch Brian Kilmeade and Lawrence Jones.
