Exasperated with the public disclosure of his private texts criticizing former President Trump, Tucker Carlson went on WABC Radio. These communications, which were at first sent among Fox coworkers, came to light after a complex legal battle over libel.
Carlson remarked, “I think this is in the text, and those were all grabbed completely illegitimately, in my opinion um in this court case, which I guess I’m not allowed to talk about, but I’m enraged that my private texts were pulled.”

One of the texts made public by Carlson read, “I hate him [Trump] passionately.”
Another message said: “We are very very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights, I truly can’t wait,” On January 4, 2021, Carlson texted an unnamed Fox employee.
However, Carlson corrected his comments on Tuesday by saying “I spent four years defending his policies and I’m going to defend them again tonight, and actually… I’m pretty straight forward: I love Trump. Like, as a person, I think Trump is funny and insightful.”
Carlson went on to state, “I said this to Trump when he called me, you know, all wounded about those texts, that was a moment in time where I was absolutely infuriated.”
Dominion Voting Systems has filed a whopping $1.6 billion lawsuit against Fox News, claiming that the media behemoth aired false allegations portraying the corporation as the mastermind behind election fraud. According to allegations, Fox News helped spread untruths that implied Dominion had interfered in the 2020 US Presidential Election, which ultimately tipped the scales in favor of President Joe Biden. This was done with the help of its anchors and guest speakers.
The complex dance between Donald Trump, a Fox News personality, and the former president is a tale of shifting tides. Their connection is a rollercoaster of allegiance and intrigue, from an early criticism during the 2016 GOP primary to ultimately supporting Trump’s presidential policies.
Carlson has occasionally criticized Trump’s initiatives, particularly those related to foreign policy and pandemic control. Also, there have been reports of conflict between Carlson and Trump’s associates, with claims of insufficient presidential backing.
