Videos and text messages from Tucker Carlson painting the former Fox News host in a negative light continue to leak, and conservative radio host Charlie Kirk believes the network is behind the release.
“Fox News has leaked to The New York Times private text messages that Tucker Carlson has sent and allegedly this is the smoking gun,” Kirk said during The Charlie Kirk Show Wednesday. “So, Fox News leaked these messages to try to say, ‘Hey, see, we were dealing with something here. That Tucker Carlson is a bad guy, he’s a racist’.
“It’s bad enough that we have to deal with accusations, false and baseless accusations, from the people that want Black-only dormitories,” continued Kirk. “It’s bad enough that we have to deal with the wokies calling us racist, but now, Tucker Carlson’s own employer, well, former employer — it’s complicated — is releasing these messages.”
A text message reported on by The Times purports that Carlson was excited by a video he saw of Trump supporters beating an Antifa member, before saying it’s “not how white men fight”. Kirk argues that Carlson “did nothing wrong” and that the message wasn’t “a smoking gun” that the host is racist.
“First of all, the text message was compassionate. It was clearly about how our media machine is actually dehumanizing our entire country, our civilization. How he was talking about how he was watching a video and how he felt less human…They’re trying to take him out for good. This war is about to get nasty. It’s about to get brutal.”
Kirk continued by arguing that the media “is losing their mind” around the comment from Carlson, when, in his view, the former Fox News host has a point.
“If you actually want to get to the truth that Tucker was saying here is that — this is a fact, no one wants to say this — there is a disturbing pattern of Blacks jumping people of all races in the urban corridors in America. That is a fact. I don’t like it, you shouldn’t like it. It’s horrifying, but it’s a pattern that we are seeing. Tucker Carlson was sending a private text message basically piggybacking on that fact.”
