What the NYT Allegedly Planned to Publish to 'Terrorize' Tucker Carlson's Family and 'Shut' Him Up

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Monday The New York Times was planning to publish a story this week on where his family lives to “hurt” them in an effort to make him “shut up and stop disagree with them”—a claim the paper denies.  

“Last week The New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live. As a matter of journalism there is no conceivable justification for a story like that. The paper is not alleging we’ve done anything wrong and we haven’t. We pay our taxes. We like our neighbors. We’ve never had a dispute with anyone,” he said. 

“So why is The New York Times doing a story on the location of my family’s house? Well, you know why. To hurt us, to injure my wife and kids so that I will shut up and stop disagree with them. They believe in force. We’ve learned that.”

Carlson explained that two years ago a left-wing journalist posted the address of his home in Washington, which resulted in antifa showing up at his house while he was at work. His petrified wife hid in a closet and called police. Their home was vandalized, antifa returned to his house again, and for the next year they received death threats.
