“It’s unbelievable,” another said, regarding Tucker Carlson’s freedom from
punishment. “I know you’re supposed to stay silent, but this is intolerable.”
One Fox News staffer who spoke to the Beast dismissed the network’s attempts to
downplay a recent monologue from the host warning that a Black Lives Matter
“mob” will “come for you.” The network later said Carlson was referring
broadly to Democrats.

“Bull. Shit. They have the script written that gives them an out,” an unnamed
Fox staffer told the Beast. “But what the viewers hear is the white supremacist
crap. And that crap goes straight to the White House.”

Some Black employees were also outraged about a June 29 segment in which Laura
Ingraham brought on Dinesh D’Souza for an anti-Black Lives Matter monologue.

In the segment, Ingraham said, “We will remember those who desert their colors,”
which prompted a HR investigation about how that phrase and the segment made the
airwaves. The Beast reported that a Black HR representative, who also led the
June call, said it was used as historical military reference, not a racist phrase.
