Tucker Carlson responded to attorney Michael Avenatti's claim he was investigating the Fox News host "assaulted" a "gay Latino immigrant," last month, with Carlson explaining in a detailed statement that the man had called his teenage daughter a "whore" at a Virginia country club.
The response comes after Avenatti, who has clashed with Carlson before, tweeted a video that appeared to show Carlson telling someone "get the f**k out of here. But the video does not show Carlson assaulting anyone as alleged.
In an extended statement provided to The Hill, Carlson said the man who called his 19-year-old daughter a whore also called her another highly derogatory term, which prompted his college-aged son to throw a glass of wine in the man's face.
“On October 13, I had dinner with two of my children and some family friends at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia," Carlson begins. "Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson. My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: ‘That’s my dad,’ and pointed to me. The man responded, ‘Are you Tucker’s whore?’ He then called her a ‘f*** c***.’
"My daughter returned to the table in tears," Carlson continues. "She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. My son asked the man if he’d called his sister a ‘whore’ and a ‘c**t.’ The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did."
"Immediately after the incident, I described these events to the management of the Farmington Country Club," Carlson explains. "The club spent more than three weeks investigating the incident. Last week, they revoked the man’s membership and threw him out of the club."
"I love my children," he adds. "It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair, which is what I wanted to do. I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger."
But I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son," Carlson concludes. "That is a lie. Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”
The incident going public on Saturday comes three days after a group associated with left-wing antifa activists converged on Carlson's home in Washington, D.C., while chanting "Racist scumbag, leave town!" and warning on social media Carlson and his family "were not safe."
"BREAKING. Activists ring doorbell, hold protest at the Washington D.C. area home of @TuckerCarlson, racist, sexist, bigoted FOX News personality. So far no one has opened the door," read a since-removed tweet by Smash Racism DC, which associates itself with antifa.
The tweet, which is no longer online after the group's Twitter account was suspended, included video of the chants being made outside Carlson's home.
“Tucker Carlson, we will fight! We know where you sleep at night!" it added.
"Every night you spread fear into our homes—fear of the other, fear of us, and fear of them. Each night you tell us we are not safe. Tonight you’re reminded that we have a voice," another tweet read. "Tonight, we remind you that you are not safe either."
One day someone is going to put Avenatti in the hospital or worse...
The world would be a better place...
“Ok, I have had enough!! Who can tell me where CPL resides?”
Hell, he’s easy enough to find. Just look for the swarm of flies buzzing around his sh!t-for-brains head.
He won a trifecta of victimhood.
In most of the country, you still are.
Someone needs to tell Lefties they need to, um, how you say, coexist.
Time for “tolerance.”
Hint: it’s not tolerance if you already agree or like them.
Who’s going to teach the lefties?
No kidding.
Looks like you're spreading your crap here too. Give it up troll, there's no basis for your ignorant comment whatsoever...............
How many other threads are you dropping your load on? I count this as the second one but I wouldn't be surprised if there are others.........
Where I come from those are fighting words.
I believe that is the law in Virginia.
I wouldn’t doubt that, he’s Mikey on the spot on this.
It’s time.
Can you still legally purchase a StreetSweeper?
The man didn’t call her a whore. He called her “Daddy’s whore.”
forgot muzzie.....that would clinch it
If the Club does not, Carlson should resign and never go back there again. All other Club member should do the same. I would if I were a member.
You are correct. It is inevitable that we are not far from physical violence with each other. And I am one that believes it has to happen sooner rather than later.
Sounds like the CPL and the “gay, Latino immigrant” were trying to set Tucker up.
Yep...They did revoke the turkeys membership and it sounds like that was quick.
It’s alive and well in Virginia.
It looks like it to me too, it’s exactly something he’d do IMO.
