Dominion Voting Systems' lawsuit against Fox News didn't go to trial, but still revealed plenty of what Fox personalities, including Tucker Carlson, had been saying about false 2020 election claims.
between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems spared executives and on-air talent from taking the stand in a defamation lawsuit that centered on Fox airing false claims of a stolen election in the weeks after former President Donald Trump's 2020 loss.
Fox attorneys noted that Carlson repeatedly questioned Powell's claims in his broadcasts: "When we kept pressing, she got angry and told us to stop contacting her," Carlson told viewers on Nov. 19, 2020. "We worked really hard to build what we have. Those are destroying our credibility. It enrages me," Carlson said in a Nov. 6, 2020, exchange with an unidentified person.
He later added, in regard to the fraud allegations being made by Trump and his allies, "He's playing with fire."In a text exchange with an unknown person on Jan. 4, 2021, Carlson expressed anger toward Trump. He said that "we are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights" and that "I truly can't wait."
"They take the president literally," Pfeiffer said. "He is to blame for everything that happened today.""Obviously the problems are deep but at the core of it is Trump saying it was stolen," Pfeiffer wrote.Later, Carlson writes of Trump: "He's a demonic force, a destroyer. But he's not going to destroy us. I've been thinking about this every day for four years.
