Teen Vogue writer receives threats after Fox News interview

Shoot. Tucker Carlson might as well just cut to the chase and say that the writer should just stay in the kitchen or get pregnant. Still, Trump's supporters were probably giving each other high fives for the comment.

NEW YORK (AP) — A woman involved in a heated debate with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson over Ivanka Trump said Tuesday she's received thousands of angry responses, including being threatened with rape on Christmas Day.The reaction to Lauren Duca, a writer for Teen Vogue magazine, is the latest example of how ugliness in political discourse didn't end with the election. Duca has been sharing several of the responses to her television appearance on social media.

She was a guest on Carlson's show Friday to discuss an incident where Donald Trump's daughter was verbally accosted while traveling on an airplane with her family. Duca had tweeted that Ivanka Trump's role in the incoming administration was fair game for discussion.

The segment was knocked off-kilter, however, when Duca agreed with Carlson that it was wrong for Ivanka Trump to be confronted on an airplane. Carlson had been prepared to question Duca about her tweet and other things she had written that had been critical of Donald Trump.

The two went toe-to-toe in what became gripping television, with Duca at one point calling Carlson a "partisan hack" intent on not allowing her to speak. Carlson, making reference to pop culture stories Duca had also written, ended the segment by saying Duca should "stick to the thigh-high boots. You're better at that."

Anytime someone criticizes Trump in public, the Trump team sends out the deplorables to threaten them into submission. This is why not many in the media are calling out Trump with any harsh language.

Trump's useful idiots will be useful for a certain time until he throws his own supporters under the bus. And you know that time is coming soon.
