Tucker Carlson moves from Washington D.C. to a barrier island in Florida. Privacy considerations?  Harassment by the New York Times? Protect privacy of his family?
Fox News political commentator Tucker Carlson sold his home in Washington, D.C.’s leafy and affluent Kent neighborhood for $3.95 million after he bought a $2.9 million home hidden down a private lane amid tropical foliage on a tiny barrier island off Florida’s Gulf Coast.
Recently back from vacation, on 7/20/2020 Carlson said on his show:  “How would Murray Carpenter and his photographer, Tristan Spinski, feel if we told you where they live, if we put pictures of their homes on the air?†Carlson asked. “What if we published the home address of every one of the soulless, robot editors at the New York Times, who assigned and managed this incitement of violence against my family?”
Despite the Times’s denial that an upcoming story would publish Carlson’s residence, his accusation sparked fierce backlash from a number of prominent conservatives, including at least one GOP lawmaker.
“There is absolutely no reason for the NY Times to do this, unless of course it is to intimidate Tucker Carlson — or anyone who has views like him,â€Â tweeted Rep. Eric A. “Rick†Crawford (R-Ark.), sharing a video of the host talking. “This isn’t ‘reporting’ and should be condemned by any news entity who has any credibility left.â€
Acting deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli retweeted criticism that the Times is promoting violence against Carlson, adding “That is clearly their intent.
