A text message caused a scandal in the United States. A message with racist overtones by Tucker Carlson, the conservative star who achieved record audiences every night on Fox News since 2016.

According to the New York Times, which reveals its contents, it is this SMS that would have precipitated the departure of the host of Fox News. Carlson comments on a video showing three Donald Trump supporters beating a young antifa activist. "Three against one is unworthy. That's not how white men have to fight," he wrote.
