happened at the capitol that day. carlson is talking about a video that he saw of trump supporters beating up the person that he described as an antifa kid. it was redacted in the dominion lawsuit court filings, but these reporters got ahold of it. here s what part of the times says is behind that wbig black box of text nah you see there. it was three against one, at least. jumping a guy like that is dishonorable, honestly. it s not how white men fight. but suddenly i found myself rooting for the man against the mob, hoping they d hit him harder, kill him. i really wanted them to hurt the kid. and somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off. this isn t good for me. i m becoming something i don t want to be. the times was able to release that text on conditions of people who spoke with the conditions of being anonymous. fox has declined to comment and so has carlson. joining us is tim rutenberg who contributed to breaking this story for the new york times. people after the abrup
