Tucker Carlson appears to defend writer who quit after anonymous racist comments were exposed

Fox News host Tucker Carlson has seemingly defended his former writer, who quit last week after it was alleged that he wrote racist and misogynistic comments in an online forum before and during his time working on his show.

Blake Neff resigned as Carlson’s top writer on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Friday after he posted racist and misogynistic comments on forum, AutoAdmit, as recently as last week.

In one example, Mr Neff allegedly responded to a racist question posed by another user on the forum which asked if people would let a “JET BLACK congo n*****” perform Lasik eye surgery on them.”
