Tucker Carlson's Controversial Actions and Comments Spark Backlash.
TL;DR Summary
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has warned Twitter against giving Tucker Carlson a "huge megaphone" after the ex-Fox News star used his debut program on the site to describe the Jewish Ukrainian president as "rat-like" and a "persecutor of Christians." ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt urged Twitter's new CEO to reconsider providing Carlson a platform, especially since she's been tasked with improving Twitter's advertising revenue, which has plummeted due to the increase of hate speech and pornography. Carlson's lawyers contend that he should be free to air the Twitter show as the site is not a direct competitor with Fox News.
