More and more details are coming out from Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News.
According to the latest court filings — Tucker Carlson expressed an intense dislike of former President Donald Trump in the wake of the 20-20 election.
Quote — “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait… I hate him passionately.”
That’s from a text Carlson allegedly sent to a co-worker two days before January 6th.
According to the filings — Carlson went on to say quote “What he’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong.”
It wasn’t just Carlson.
Tuesday’s filings revealed that Trump’s election fraud claims caused what a senior Fox executive called an “existential crisis” within the network.
This included an alleged rift between prime-time opinion hosts Carlson — Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham — and other personnel who were skeptical of election-fraud claims.
According to the filings — the three hosts were upset that Fox was the first network to call the key battleground state of Arizona for President Biden.
