A longtime producer for Tucker Carlson is out after he was deemed responsible for the headline that read, “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”
The producer, Alex McCaskill, confirmed his exit in an Instagram post. Fox News did not comment on Friday.
It was during the last minutes of Carlson’s former time slot on Tuesday when the message appeared under separate onscreen boxes that showed Biden and Trump talking. It read: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.” The producer offered to resign with two weeks’ notice, but was told to clean out his desk and leave immediately, he said.
In an Instagram message posted on Twitter by Justin Baragona of The Daily Beast, McCaskill is pictured outside of Fox’s Manhattan office holding a box.
