New video reveals Tucker Carlson’s coarse remark about Dominion lawyer

Tucker Carlson called a lawyer for Dominion Voting Systems a "slimy motherfucker" who "triggered" him in a lengthy deposition last August.

The now fired Fox News host made the comments in new on-set footage published on Wednesday by Media Matters for America, a left-leaning media watchdog critical of Fox News which has published a string of such videos.

Carlson made the comments on set, wearing the same clothes he did on his 26 August 2022 show, the day he was deposed in the Dominion case, Media Matters said.

Carlson adds: "It's totally bad for you to feel that way. But that guy, he triggered the shit out of me. 'Where are you now? Where do you live?' The amount of times I had, 'First of all, fuck you,' on my lips was like, it was unbelievable. Suggesting that I was - that I was cheating on my taxes?"

A Dominion spokesperson declined to comment.

Last month, Fox News and the voting machines company reached a $787.5m settlement of a closely watched defamation lawsuit, brought over the broadcast of Donald Trump's lies about voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Text messages from Carlson in which he criticized the network, discussed his hatred for Trump and used abusive terms to describe Sidney Powell, one of Trump's allies, were made public as part of the case.
