Harmeet Dhillon, a frequent Fox News guest and the current attorney for Tucker Carlson, has sworn to avoid the network until it ceases its efforts to “silence” her client.
Dhillon has been a frequent guest on the network for a number of years, and he recently ran for the position of chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Friday, the attorney and political commentator stated on Twitter that she would not appear on a network that, in her words, “spits on its viewers.”
Dhillon shared a report from Axios that claimed Fox News had sent Carlson a cease-and-desist letter instructing him to stop posting on his personal Twitter page.
The network’s ratings have plummeted since April, when it inexplicably fired Carlson.
The former host is still being paid by the network, but according to the report, Fox News wants him to cease speaking until early 2025, when his contract expires.
“My friend and client @TuckerCarlson will not be silenced — by the far left or by Fox News,” she tweeted.

In a subsequent post, Dhillon explained, “For all the friends who have been asking ‘why don’t we see you on Fox anymore?’ — This is why. I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society.”
Dhillon added, “Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it’s not a place for me. And I feel for my friends working at the network which has clearly caved into pressure from some quarter to silence @TuckerCarlson.”
She concluded the tweet, “What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news. Keep that in mind as you make your viewing and your commenting choices.”

In yet another tweet, Dhillon called on other influential conservatives to avoid appearing on Fox News.
“For all the members of Congress, culture warriors, ‘influencers,’@GOP officials — do you really want to air your views on a network that spits on its viewers, leaks oppo on its own talent, and even threatens former talent for speaking, for free, on @Twitter?! You have free will!” CONTINUE READING…
