As you’ve probably already guessed, not everyone is a fan of Carlson’s views. In the New York Times, James Poniewozik definitely isn’t. He once stated that Carlson does not seek to interview his subjects but to defeat them. That he shifts topics to imply hypocrisies, prods, pounces, guffaws, and interrupts.
He added that the camera holds tight to his face to show every squint of bemusement, contempt, and confusion. Carlson says that he’s usually unphased by that kind of criticism.
Coming Soon to Bookstores Near You
That wouldn't be the last book the young scholar would author. In May 2017, he signed an eight-figure, two-book deal, with Simon & Schuster’s Threshold Editions. His first book of the deal, "Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution", was released in October 2018. It debuted #1 on the famous New York Times Best Seller List. What a great start for an author. Now there will surely be high expectations for his next book.
The book's cover shows caricatures of Democratic politicians Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, and Nancy Pelosi; Republican politicians Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham; journalist Bill Kristol; and tech moguls Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos. That basically sums it all up.
LGBT Rights
Contrary to what you might think when you think of a right-winged conservative, Tucker Carlson isn’t against gay marriage. As a matter of fact, on an episode of his show in 2007, he said that he was a true believer in marriage and that everyone had the right to marry no matter what.
He made an effort into being politically correct and assured no one would take any of his words personally. See? Not all conservatives are bigots like some liberals may think.
Climate Change — a Myth?
This one may even be amusing to some, but Carlson doesn't believe in the concept of climate change. He says that it is “unknowable” whether human activities even contribute to changes in our environment.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but maybe if someone was pushed out of the newsroom to take a better look at what's going on outside they would change their minds.
Family Guy
Tucker Carlson and his wife, Susan Andrews, have been married for over 25 years. They have four children together — Lillie, Hopie, and Dorothy, and Buckley. He and his beautiful family live in a farmhouse in Alexandria. They renovated the modest house into the dream home it is today.
Though Tucker hoped for his home to be a place of sanctuary, it has been a target for protestors who oppose his blatant political views. People have the right to an opinion, but that's not to see it doesn't come with a price.
