Private Fox News text messages, emails released in Dominion suit
NBCNov 26, 2022
The Facts
New court filings from the Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit against Fox revealed text messages from popular Fox host Tucker Carlson stating that he “passionately hated” former Pres. Trump.
In a Jan. 4, 2021, text message to an unidentified recipient, Carlson wrote, "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.”
The Spin
Left narrative
Tucker Carlson’s private messages reveal his true feelings for Donald Trump. These messages reflect so poorly on both Carlson and Trump because they expose that Carlson is a phony and a grifter who will say anything for money, while the messages also show that even Trump’s closest allies think he is a terrible and destructive force.
Right narrative
Tucker Carlson’s personal opinion of Donald Trump is quite irrelevant, and Tucker has and will continue to support Pres. Trump because he cares about America. The texts are also two years old and happened at a very contentious time, so they are probably not indicative of Carlson and Trump’s current relationship.
