Analysis: Carlson was fired — apparently because of a text message revealing his own racial bias and support for political violence.
An incident from the latter month matches Carlson’s description. A video emerged — and wasby the New York Post — showing a group of men surrounding someone dressed in all black on a dark D.C. street. They grab at him, trying to pull off his hat. The scene devolves and the man being surrounded pulls out a knife.If this was the clip Carlson was watching, there are two important details to note.
Carlson’s visceral support for the fight, then, wasn’t just his approval of violence. It was explicitly support for political violence, which he admitted in the text message. Yes, he caught himself — as he said he caught himself whenpreviously. But he could “taste” his desire to see the “antifa” guy punished since Carlson was “sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him,” as he said later in the message. Because this guy was “antifa,” Carlson wanted to see him killed.
“This was racist mob violence and we should not be surprised by that. This is what mobs do. The hive mind takes over,” Carlson said, framing the violence from Black participants as subhuman. “The lowest instincts take over and people who are different get hurt, often killed.” That the federal government wasn’t investigating the situation in Chicago — according to Carlson, anyway — was a reflection of partisan priorities.3.2 million viewersLess than a week later, Carlson was fired — apparently because of a text message revealing his own racial bias and support for political violence.
