From The Hill:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) have sent a letter to Fox Corporation Chairman Rupert Murdoch asking him to stop Fox News personalities from spreading false election narratives, warning they could lead to further acts of political violence.
We demand that you direct Tucker Carlson and other hosts on your network to stop spreading false election narratives and admit on the air that they were wrong to engage in such negligent behavior, Schumer and Jeffries wrote.
The Democratic leaders point to Murdochs deposition testimony in which he acknowledged several network hosts endorsed false narratives about the 2020 election being stolen and that he and other Fox executives didnt stop them.
