Things got heated on Tucker Carlson’s hit Fox News show last night when he called out The New York Times for allegedly threatening to reveal the location of his family’s home.

Since returning from a planned vacation, Carlson ended his first show with the disturbing revelation that The New York Times is preparing to dox him and his family in an attempt to silence him forever.

“One more thing before we go tonight,” Carlson said. “Since this show began almost four years ago, I’ve really tried not to talk about myself on the air or even use the first-person pronoun. The last thing this country needs is more narcissism. It’s not very interesting anyway.”

“People who use the word ‘I’ a lot tend to bore everyone but themselves, but tonight, we’re going to make an exception to that rule,” he added. “We don’t have much choice. Last week The New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live.”

That’s when Carlson revealed just how low The New York Times is sinking in their attempt to silence a conservative voice.

“As a matter of journalism, there is no conceivable justification for a story like that,” Carlson continued. “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. 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 disagreeing with them.”

The popular primetime Fox News host went on to add that he had personally called editors for The New York Times asking them not to do this, but they planned to move ahead with the move anyway.

“Editors there know exactly what will happen to my family when it does run,” Carlson said. “I called them today, and I told them. But they didn’t care. They hate my politics. They want this show off the air. If one of my children gets hurt because of a story they wrote, they won’t consider 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.”

The New York Times has since responded in a statement of their own, claiming, “While we do not confirm what may or may not publish in future editions, The Times has not and does not plan to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson’s, which Carlson was aware of before tonight’s broadcast.”

Carlson and his family were already forced to move once, back in 2018, after Antifa members showed up at his home and began hurling death threats at his family. Despite The New York Times denial of plans to dox Carlson, various prominent conservatives have rushed to his defense, making it clear that this is unfortunately something that any famous Republican has to contend with these days:

This is extremely dangerous and a weird new norm. Even printing his neighborhood or building or home area is really dangerous. Why people feel comfortable doing this to people with whom their politics they hate is sick. It is the most violating thing in the entire world. https://t.co/hI67GEcaYq

🚨🚨🚨 WOW, this is what the New York Times does to their political enemies these days.

Disgusting, even by their ever diminishing “standards” https://t.co/oIiaPXaN4g

I understand the @NYTimes has gone to hell, which is why I canceled my subscription. But that they would use their "news" organization to publicize the location of @TuckerCarlson's family residence is what polite people would call evil and despicable. Shame on them.

By printing Tucker Carlson's address, The New York Times is deliberately encouraging violence against him.

If The New York Times does go through with publishing Carlson’s address, it would be a new low for the paper. Sadly, it would also not be a surprise.
