Ex-Fox News host Tucker Carlson called the lawyer who led his deposition in Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against the network a "slimy little motherfucker" in a behind-the-scenes video obtained by Media Matters for America.
Dominion's lawyers questioned Carlson about several of his racist, misogynistic and salacious messages included in the voting technology company's court filing in February, which reportedly played a role in Carlson's termination last week. In one such message, redacted in court documents until published by The New York Times on Tuesday, Carlson described watching a group of Trump supporters assaulting "an Antifa kid," writing that "jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It's not how white men fight." Carlson explained that he was initially "rooting for the mob against the man" but was later alarmed by the sentiment.
