Tucker Carlson publicly took down a
New York Times reporter who requested comment about his 'Proud Boys tie.'
In a
post on X, political commentator and media personality Tucker Carlson revealed a request he received from reporter Adam Satariano, who prefaced that he was writing a story about how groups affiliated with the Proud Boys use the chat app Telegram to communicate.
The inquiry read: 'In some Telegram posts from chapters of the Proud Boys, they discuss Mr. Carlson wearing black and gold colors at the recent MSG rally for former President Trump in New York.
'Members of Proud Boys have interpreted this as a sign of support for the Proud Boys, which use black and gold as their official colors...was Mr. Carlson's choice of wearing black and gold a sign of support for the Proud Boys?'
Carlson did not hold back in his response, mocking the reporter for his conspiratorial insinuations.
