In a newly revealed text message, ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson made a racist comment and said he found himself briefly rooting for a mob of Trump supporters to kill a person, according to the New York Times.
The text message, which was included in redacted court filings in the Dominion Voting Systems case, was swept up in discovery as part of the voting machine company's defamation lawsuit against Fox, according to the Times.
Fox News declined to comment to CNN on the report. Tucker Carlson did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. The announcement came one week after Fox News settled a monster defamation lawsuit with Dominion for $787.5 million over the network's dissemination of election lies. The lawsuit had exposed Carlson disparaging his colleagues. A lawsuit filed in March by his now-fired top booker, Abby Grossberg, also included a number of allegations of sexism on his show.But the text revealed by the New York Times remains redacted.
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said Carlson's racist message wasn't shocking considering his frequent anti-immigrant comments on his show.
