A new trove of court documents from Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit show that Fox News star Tucker Carlson – who has been one of the most vocally pro-Trump conservatives in public – said privately that he hates Trump and is tired of his antics. In a text conversation between Carlson and a Fox News staffer just two days before the Jan. 6, 2021, storming of the US Capitol, Carlson wrote, “We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights. I truly can’t wait.” Carlson also wrote that Trump and his lawyers “have so discredited their own case, and the rest of us to some extent, that it’s infuriating. Absolutely enrages me.” “That’s the last four years,” Carlson continued. “We’re all pretending we’ve got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it’s been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn’t really an upside to Trump.” In previously released texts from Carlson, the conservative star was shown to have called Trump “a demonic force” on the night of Jan. 6 and worried that Trump would “destroy” Fox News if they didn’t cover his claims the way he wanted them to. “What [Trump]’s good at is destroying things. He’s the undisputed world champion of that. He could easily destroy us if we play it wrong,” Carlson said. Carlson also told a staffer that Trump’s refusal to attend Joe Biden’s presidential inauguration was “so destructive” and called it “disgusting” that “millions believe every word he says.” (YWN World Headquarters – NYC)
