“What Blake wrote anonymously was wrong,” Carlson said in a brief statement near the end of his Monday night show. “We don’t endorse those words. They have no connection to the show.”

Sine Neff has been writing those words for years, starting when he was at the Daily Caller then on your show Tucker then he and you do have a connection to those words.
What’s your pseudonym on AutoAdmit Tucker?

There is no way Carlson or people at FOX didnt know of this guys views
I’m certain Carlson hung out with the guy and they discussed their true feelings. Hell, Fucker has expressed MANY times his derisive, racist views.

FOX is only horrified this guy got caught. He probably already has a job in trumps administration.

“We are all human,” Carlson said. “When we pretend we are holy, we are lying.”
The Defender of Truth and Right continued
“There is no good or beauty in the world, do not strive for it. Those who have honor are only pretending to do so. Therefore, our rantings for the past years have been based on no moral horror, but simply our hate and rage.”
(producer speaks into Carlson’s earpiece - " That’s fine Tucker, but don’t say it out loud anymore")

Apparently Carlson can’t function without his top writer.

Would it be wrong to wish him a long walk off a short dock?

Uhhh, sure (F)ucker, there is absolutely no connection to the show from your head writer’s bigoted, racist statement. I’m certain that you were completely unaware of his views. I mean you only employed him at Fox and the Daily Caller.

Such bullshit.

Enjoy your, no doubt previously planned, “fishing trip”.

These racists are so happy for Trump because it gives them permission to show their true colors but now that they see his rule might be coming to an end they’re all falling over themselves to get out all the public racism and hate they can.

He sure has an interesting way of getting extra time off. I believe if most of us tried it we’d get fired.

I can’t wait to hear Tucker describe what a big trout he caught. The Moby Dick of Trout, nay, the Hillary Clinton of Trout.

Tuesday is the most popular day of the week to begin a long-planned vacation. Everyone does it! Not odd at all!

I guess people use a pseudonym when they want to write things they would be ashamed to write under their own name My rule of thumb is I never write anything that wouldn’t mind being attributed to me in the newspaper.
