1. Let's take a detailed look at @TuckerCarlson's private text messages, revealed as part of Dominion's lawsuit, and compare them to what he was telling millions of people on Fox News every night

It's not news.

It's not even opinion.

It's a con.

@TuckerCarlson 2. In a January 4, 2021 text to two members of his staff, Carlson said he "truly can’t wait" for Trump to leave office because "I hate him passionately."

In a January 7, 2021 text to his producer, Alex Pfeiffer, Carlson called Trump a "demonic force" and "a destroyer."

@TuckerCarlson 3. But on the January 7, 2021 edition of his Fox News program, Carlson trashed people who harbored "hatred" of Trump, saying they were "socially anxious white professionals" who loathe the working-class.

@TuckerCarlson 4. Trump, Carlson said, appreciated the working class and was grateful for their support. "You'd be grateful for it too if everyone else hated you," Carlson added. He did not mention that he was one of the people who "passionately" hated Trump.

@TuckerCarlson 5. On January 10, 2021, Carlson texted a member of his staff who told Carlson about Trump's decision to skip Biden's inauguration. "I’d heard that about the inauguration. Hard to believe. So destructive," Carlson wrote. "It’s disgusting. I’m trying to look away."

@TuckerCarlson 6. But on January 20, 2021, the day of Biden's inauguration, Carlson played a clip of CNN's Jim Acosta, who noted the significance of Trump skipping the event.

Carlson did not say he agreed with Acosta that Trump's decision to skip the inauguration was significant.

@TuckerCarlson 7. Instead, he mocked Acosta for wearing a mask and called Acosta's comments "performance art" and "very tiresome."

8. In other words, Carlson spent the program telling viewers that criticism of Trump skipping the inauguration was unwarranted and overblown. But Carlson actually believed that Trump's decision to skip the inauguration was a "destructive" and "disgusting" mistake.

9. In a November 21, 2020 text message, Carlson said that allegations that Dominion rigged its election machines against Trump was "shockingly reckless" because there is no evidence to support it.

10. A couple of months later, on January 26, 2021, Carlson hosted MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who had spent months pushing false and unsubstantiated claims about Dominion.

Lindell claimed he was being unfairly targeted by Dominion but would "not back down."

11. Carlson did not mention that he believed Lindell's claims about Dominion were "shockingly reckless." Instead, Carlson replied, "I totally agree."
