Tucker Carlson today issued a grudging passive-aggressive “apology” for his recently deposed head writer doing racism in his spare time as well as his as a central part of his professional duties, followed by a very sincere burst of outrage at the people who revealed that Neff’s private racism matched the racism you can see five hours a week on 14 Words With Tucker Carlson:

On his show Monday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson briefly addressed and condemned comments made by his former top writer, Blake Neff, who resigned from the network on Friday after he was linked to racist, misogynistic and homophobic blog posts penned anonymously on an Internet forum.

After CNN published a story connecting Neff to blog posts on the underground chat board AutoAdmit, Carlson said his former employee “was horrified by the story and he was ashamed.”

Carlson told his viewers that Neff’s writings were “wrong” and suggested there was no link between the blog posts and the work he did for Carlson’s prime-time show. [LOL-ed.]

And now, he’s going “fishing”:

Ah, yes, the standard practice of working one day and then heading out on vacation on a Tuesday. https://t.co/G7GvDRRk9i— Maggie Serota (@maggieserota) July 14, 2020
