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.
“We tried to ignore it and felt cowardly to sell our home and leave. We raised our kids in the neighborhood and we loved it. But in the end that’s what we did,” he explained. “We have four children. It just wasn’t worth it.”
But The New York Times followed us. The paper has assigned a political activist called Murray Carpenter to write a story about where we are now. They’ve hired a photographer called Tristan Spinski to take pictures. Their story about where we live is slated to run the paper this week. Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run. I called them today and I told them. But they didn’t care. They hate my politics. They want they show off the air. If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won’t considered it collateral damage, they know it’s the whole point of the exercise: To inflict pain on our family, to terrorize us, to control we say. That’s the kind of people they are. (Transcript via Daily Wire)
Carlson said the paper will deny it (which they did) and then questioned how the reporters working on the story would like it if he published their addresses and posted photos of their homes.

ebay denied the same sort of coordinate harassment against some sellers and then dismissed some of those responsible.
This is despotic.
This should have already been done.
Tucker going on offense ... leading by example.
Tucker, your boss just gave a million bucks to the Biden campaign. You’re on your own
Fox News execs (NewsCorp) endorsed John FTA Kerry in 2004. Fox News isn’t conservative.
I can’t wait to vote for Tucker in the future. He’s the heir apparent to Limbaugh and could be so much more if he chose to be.
If I had the problems Tucker does and the money I’d live in a gated community. Would be safer for him and his family.
The nyt has chosen sides. It is on the side of those who want this country destroyed. I only hope that the nyt gets just retribution.
Their executives aren’t, but you sure as HELL won’t hear Conservative voices like Carlson’s on ANY other major cable news networks.
Carlson presumably cares about his family, so he’s using this veiled threat as leverage, to get these jackals to back off.
“Tucker, your boss just gave a million bucks to the Biden campaign. You’re on your own”
Bingo. Folks, we’re watching the left grab power, and it’s not going to stop. Unfortunately, for most of us, our neighbors are at best unaware, and at worst, support this stuff.
Safe?
Except the McCloskeys live in a gated community....
....the mob broke down the gate and the security never arrived
No one is safe
Tucker, come move next to me. You won’t have to worry about anyone bothering you.
Tucker has several books in print, at Amazon. I just ordered one. My only way of getting back at the nyt.
The nyt should be run out of business. This is terrorism.
Anyone got a suitcase nuke they could lend me?
Breaking the law to silence your opponent, is admitting you are WRONG!
Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run.
This may cost the New York Times their paper after the courts get done with them.(puts family at risk of death)
Fleet of lawyers on the way to Tuckers house.
I agree...they’re using the benefits of their status to do evil.
