Last month one of my children was attacked by a stranger at dinner. For her sake, I was hoping to keep the incident private. It’s now being politicized by the Left. Here’s what happened: pic.twitter.com/rwNoFYxMFv

Apparently, Fox News ordered their entire staff not to go on Twitter to defend Tucker Carlson from the brutal attacks on him by Antifa, the Jewish media, faggot spics and wop lawyers.
Tucker violated the directive.
Fox News has instituted a Twitter blackout across the company, reportedly in response to threats to host Tucker Carlson, but apparently the blackout doesn’t apply to Carlson himself.
Despite orders emailed to the entire Fox News digital team instructing employees not to tweet, previously reported by Business Insider, Carlson took to Twitter Sunday evening to defend himself against blowout allegations of assault from Michael Avenatti’s new client Juan Manuel Granados.
We reported on those yesterday.
Breaking the blackout, Carlson wrote, “Last month one of my children was attacked by a stranger at dinner. For her sake, I was hoping to keep the incident private. It’s now being politicized by the Left. Here’s what happened.”
Attached to the post was a lengthy statement providing Tucker Carlson’s own account of a dispute at Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia. Carlson denied personally assaulting Granados.
Carlson’s tweet notably went against a documented Twitter blackout that has been in place at the network for multiple days, reportedly ordered because Carlson’s own address was leaked.
In the email obtained by Business Insider, Fox News managing editor Greg Wilson told the entire digital team, approximately 140 people, to “please refrain from tweeting out our content from either section accounts or your own accounts until further notice.”
A Fox News source cited by a Tribune Media’s Scott Gustin reportedly said the decision came from “the highest level” of the company and was a form of protest against Twitter’s response to tweets containing Carlson’s address. Gustin said that it’s believed that Twitter advised Fox News to submit ticket request rather than immediately deleting tweets with Carlson’s address.
This wasn’t Fox trying to protect Tucker. It was Fox trying to hurt Tucker.
They were telling all of the hosts – who would naturally defend their colleague – to not do that, and remain silent on the issue.
Fox is itself just as involved in the war against Tucker as the entire rest of the media. They don’t want to deal with the backlash from firing him, so they want to work in other ways to try to destroy him, using underhanded trickery.
Tucker isn’t having it.
These people are going after his family, and basically attempted to murder his wife last week.
He is going full-on.
If Fox is eventually given the ability to kick him off, or makes the bold move to do so, he goes independent and is no longer tied to their rules. He can say whatever he wants on an independent platform, and his audience will follow him.
PewDiePie has an audience bigger than Tucker’s, as do many YouTube stars. There is zero indication that he would not at least double his reach by leaving fox and tailoring his show to an internet format.
If he got kicked off YouTube, he could build his own entirely new platform. His audience is going to follow him wherever he goes.
He knows that. And he is acting accordingly.
