Behind-the-scenes footage surreptitiously leaked to Media Matters shows former Fox News host Tucker Carlson telling a producer that liberals with pronouns in their bios shouldn’t be working at the network.
“The video shows Carlson describing a conversation he had with a female Fox executive about what seems to be some sort of leak,” Media Matters described.
Speaking to executive producer Justin Wells while prepping for his show, Carlson said, “I talked to her at great length. It was actually pretty funny… I was like, she’s got a lot of liberals working over there. And, you know, they see this as war and we’re the main force on the other side.”
“And like, that’s crazy. If you’ve got pronouns in your Twitter bio, you shouldn’t work here because we can’t trust you because you’re on the other side,” Tucker candidly told Wells.
The ousted primetime host added former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes would not have allowed such a blatant conflict of interest.
“And she goes, ‘Well, who?’ And I said, I’m not going to name names because I don’t know who did it. And I’m definitely not going to cast aspersions on someone unfairly. Just because you’re liberal doesn’t mean you did this. It does mean you shouldn’t work here. And Roger would never put up with this shit. Why would you do that?”
“Did you know what I mean? They see this as war.”
Tucker went on to highlight a producer for Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro who was a flaming liberal, and questioned why a person who holds leftist ideologies was allowed to work at the network.
“But do you know what I mean, Justin? If you’ve got like that, that horrible guy who was just horrible, who was Judge Jeanine [Pirro]’s guy. I couldn’t. Yeah, that guy’s like a screaming left-wing lunatic. Why does he work here? What? He totally dicked over his anchor, and then we expect he’s not going to dick over the network. Like, I don’t have specific information on it, but I would. It’s just. Yeah, it’s crazy. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. It’s like I’m always telling people. I’m telling my children like, you know what the truth is? You can feel it. Don’t lie to yourself.”
The latest leak comes as the Soros-funded Media Matters has been steadily publishing leaked behind-the-scenes video of Tucker in an attempt to smear him as “creepy.”
However, the leaked videos haven’t really had the intended effect, and are instead making Tucker appear more affable.
Meanwhile, Fox News last week sent Media Matters a cease-and-desist letter demanding they stop publishing the leaked clips.
