Tucker Carlson announces plan to buy home in Qatar
Arutz Sheva (Channel 7, Israel)
Carlson stated that the purchase is being made in response to accusations that he has been paid off by the Qatari government for his recent praise of Qatar, defense of Sharia law and Islamist terrorist organizations, and hatred for the State of Israel.
Ive never taken anything from your country and dont plan to, Carlson said. Im an American and a free man, and Ill be wherever I want to be.
I am, however, tomorrow buying a place in Qatar. I like the city, I think its beautiful, but also to make a statement that Im an American and a free man and Ill be wherever I want to be. I have not taken any money from Qatar, but I have now given money to Qatar, he added.

On the plus side for them, his bow tie would make a handy target.
