Blake Neff

Blake Neff, who joined “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in 2017, left Fox News on Friday July 10 2020 after the network learned of his activity on an online forum, AutoAdmit, which is popular with law students. The site has previously been the subject of at least one lawsuit for its offensive and misogynist content. A conservative writer who previously worked at the right-wing news and opinion site The Daily Caller, which Mr. Carlson co-founded, Mr. Neff published on AutoAdmit under a pseudonym, CharlesXII. Mr. Neff, in a recent interview with the Dartmouth Alumni Magazine, said that when Mr. Carlson read off his teleprompter, “the first draft was written by me.” The interview identified him as a 2013 graduate and a former editor at The Dartmouth Review, the college’s undergraduate conservative newspaper.
