Tucker Carlson makes insinuating remarks on women in new leaked video

In the latest leaked behind-the-scenes video of Tucker Carlson, the now fired rightwing Fox News host makes insinuating comments about a makeup artist, about what women do in the bathroom and if they ever have pillow fights.

The footage was published on Thursday by the progressive watchdog Media Matters for America.

Why Fox News decided to remove its star prime-time anchor is the subject of widespread reporting.

Earlier this week, the New York Times published a racially inflammatory text message Carlson sent after the Capitol attack. That message was redacted in Dominion filings but other messages, including abusive comments about Trump advisers and allies, were released.

Last week, a person close to Carlson told the Guardian the firing was not over abusive messages or crude comments.

The woman indicates assent.

After an unintelligible remark off camera, Carlson apologises.
