Tucker Carlson: 'The software s--t is absurd'
IN PRIVATE: On Nov. 8, Carlson privately texted his producer that the allegations about Dominion were "absurd," according to the Dominion filing. Also that day, Carlson's producer texted him about his own doubts.
"I don't think there is evidence of voter fraud that swung the election," producer Alex Pfeiffer texted to Carlson, per the lawsuit. "The software s--t is absurd," Carlson allegedly responded. "Half our viewers have seen the Maria clip."
ON-AIR: On his show just one night later, Carlson pushed more suggestions of fraud, though he said "we don't know anything about the software."
"We don't know how many votes were stolen on Tuesday night. We don't know anything about the software that many say was rigged. We don't know. We ought to find out," he said. "But here's what we do know. On a larger level, at the highest levels, actually, our system isn't what we thought it was. It's not as fair as it should be. Not even close."
Carlson during this show also said that "false claims of fraud can be every bit as destructive as the fraud itself," according to the filing, and that "[T]he fraud that we can confirm does not seem to be enough to alter the election results. We should be honest and tell you that..."
Maria Bartiromo: Powell's 'kooky' email
IN PRIVATE: On Nov. 7, host Maria Bartiromo scoffed at an email she received from attorney Sidney Powell forwarding her evidence of fraud, calling it "kooky," the filing said.
ON AIR: Just one day later, Bartiromo had Powell on her show where she invited her to discuss her claims, saying "I know there were voting irregularities."
"Sidney, we talked about the Dominion software. I know that there were voting irregularities. Tell me about that," she said, according to Dominions filing.
Sean Hannity: "Rudy is acting like an insane person"
IN PRIVATE: On Nov. 11, according to the filing, Hannity privately commented on Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani.
"Rudy is acting like an insane person," Hannity said, per the filing.
IN PUBLIC: That same day on his show, Hannity told his viewers that the lawsuits and affidavits being filed allege "serious election misconduct."
"Investigations continue in multiple key states where hundreds, now, of sworn affidavits are being filed, lawsuits are being filed, alleging serious election misconduct," he said. "And let's not forget the software error -- we're going to be focused on this a lot -- wrongfully awarded Joe Biden thousands of ballots that were cast for President Trump, until the problem was amazingly fixed. And according to a report, that very same software -- it's called Dominion Voting Systems -- that was used in 28 states."
