Any legal action taken by Fox would be a breach of Carlson’s First Amendment rights, according to Carlson’s attorney.
“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,” Carlson’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said in a statement to Axios.
