Tucker Carlson must be hitting leftist nerves

Tucker responds to intrusive reporting by New York Times  "Tucker: Last week, the New York Times began working on a story about where my family and I live. "
Comes one of Tucker's accusers, Cathy Areu into the picture:


Ludicrous sexual harassment claims made against Tucker Carlson  . . . "Two women – Jennifer Eckhart, who worked for Fox, and Cathy Areu, who was an occasional guest on Fox shows – filed a lawsuit in Federal court accusing Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Howard Kurtz, Gianno Caldwell, and Ed Henry of a wide range of alleged sexual misconduct. The accusations against Ed Henry, whom Fox fired earlier in July, are especially extreme, accusing him of a violent rape. On the other side of the spectrum, the accusations against Carlson are ridiculous, and it’s these charges that are the subject of this post.
"Superficially, Areu accuses Carlson of ordering his employees to restrain her in a chair, so that he could solicit her for sex. Then, when she rebuffed him, he dumped her as a guest. When you get to the details, though, you realize that the charges against Carlson are ridiculous.
"Areu alleges that she was a frequent guest on Carlson’s show, appearing at least 17 times in 2018. Her last appearance was in December 2018. After she completed her segment, she contends,
[O]ne of Mr. Carlson’s producers or writers whispered in Ms. Areu’s ear, while she was on set trying to get out of the chair, and told her that Mr. Carlson wanted her to stay under the very end of the show to chat with him.
"The complaint implies that Areu desperately wanted to avoid this little chat but couldn’t. Instead, she had “no choice” because she “was attached to the chair.” Oh. My. God! Carlson used bondage on the set to keep his guests trapped." . . .
