The Dominion lawsuit against Fox News has turned over some interesting tweets from Tucker Carlson in the days leading up to January 6th.
Many will find the tweets offensive given that Tucker is dissing Trump pretty hard. I mean really hard.
Lots of big revelations coming out tonight in the exhibits to Dominion's lawsuit against Fox News.
Days before Jan. 6, Tucker Carlson wrote in a text message exchange about Trump: "I hate him passionately" and "I truly can't wait" to ignore him. pic.twitter.com/ykk5s4jvLo

Here’s the full screenshot showing the texts:
With Tucker saying he hates Trump passionately it looks pretty bad. But here’s my take.
These text messages represent one moment in time. Maybe he feels this way all the time, but we really don’t know that. Maybe he just felt this way that day. Again, we don’t know. But there was a lot going on in those days and something may have happened that triggered Tucker to rashly send these angry text messages.
My point is that I don’t think it’s fair to judge him by these texts that represent one moment in time. Some will think he’s a fraud and I get that. But I would need much more before I could come to any conclusion.
I think all of us get angry from time to time and say things we don’t necessarily mean. I’m not saying he’s doing that here, but just leaving open the possibility since we don’t have a lot to go on other than these texts.
