Carlson broke his silence days later in a video statement posted to Twitter, in which he lambasted the mainstream media and efforts to silence debate. He didn’t mention Fox News or what had happened specifically, but told viewers, “See you soon.”

“Amazingly, as of tonight, there aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech,” Carlson pointed out. “The last big one remaining in the world — the only one — is Twitter, where we are now.”
