Tucker Carlson livid after Rep. Matt Gaetz tries to rope him into controversy, source says

[TomCADem]

You just can't make this up. Did they have the screenwriter from Entourage recreate the dialogue between Eric, Drama and Turtle?

The Florida lawmaker first referenced a previous allegation of sexual misconduct against Carlson, which the Fox News host has denied, saying that he was "not the only person on screen right now who's been falsely accused of a terrible sex act."

Then, and more interestingly, Gaetz suggested Carlson had met a woman involved in the recent controversy related to the sex allegations. Gaetz said that woman was threatened by the FBI to tell people he was involved in a "pay to play scheme."

A person familiar with the DOJ investigation told CNN that the probe is part of a broader probe into trafficking allegations against another Florida politician. Gaetz has not been charged with a crime.

"You and I went to dinner about two years ago," Gaetz told Carlson. "Your wife was there, and I brought a friend of mine, you'll remember her."."

1. To be suckered in a controversy like that....

On live TV by that asshole, has to be maddening. Now Carlson will be questioned by the Feds. Good.

11. Sending the signal to Tucker that Matt is holding onto the receipts and ledgers.

2. Lie down with dogs get up with fleas, Tucker.

Although the comparison is hardly fair to dogs or fleas.

12. I think the expression is

"Lie down with dogs, and when you get up, you're still a nasty douche."

3. I really want to know the allegations against Carlson. Maybe this, against three on Fox.

4. Whomp whomp!

[Digital Puppy]

5. With friends like these...... N/T

[SergeStorms]

6. I love it....

when these reich-wing lie merchants start going after each other with tooth and claw. They're so conditioned to turn everything into a knock down, dragged out brawl, that they can't contain themselves when there's a little friction between them. There is certainly no honor among these thieves.

22. We're gonna need a bigger bus

When the pushing and shoving really gets going

7. Tucker is livid? I'm ecstatic! See how he likes taking a little of his own medicine.

Gaets and Tucker are frat boys from different fraternities.

14. I cannot for the life of me keep all this straight...

[applegrove]

15. To not be in on the lies and con when you go on air. Scandalous. Hey

Carlson. What about your viewers? They are not in on the con every day.

[Catch2.2]

17. Tucker Carlson is the one...

that needs to go down! Until the Dems can combat the Fox Propaganda Machine, they'll continue to struggle with elections, getting legislation passed, etc.

21. I've got a feeling Tucker was at that dinner,

but it wasn't his wife who was with him.

[BlueNProud]

20. Carlson is likely to run for president

I noticed the set of his program had this "Heartland" themed look to it. He's trying to appear like a regular guy to middle American magats.
