Fox News Host Tucker Carlson 'Can't Really Go' to Restaurants Anymore

In a new podcast interview with National Review’s Jamie Weinstein, Fox News host Tucker Carlson said he can no longer go to most restaurants because he will be screamed at by people who find his views repugnant. “I can’t really go to a lot of restaurants anymore because I get yelled at,” Carlson said. “I don’t feel threatened, but having someone scream, ‘Fuck you!’ at a restaurant, it just wrecks your meal.” After explaining that there is still one restaurant he goes to because he loves it and no one hassles him there, the host added, “I can’t wait for this revolution to end, so I can go back out to dinner.” The Hollywood Reporter pointed out that Carlson is “known to be a regular at The Palm, a steak house” in Washington, D.C. He has previously defended White House officials like press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders who have received similar treatment from critics in public. “If they dare leave their homes, they will be surrounded by mobs and threatened,” Carlson said on his show this past June, adding that Sanders and her family had “committed the sin of being related to someone who works at the White House, so progressives continued to harangue them as they tried to eat.”

and the security and streets blocked off. He literally was whining about how hard it was for him to walk down to his local coffee shop and buy a newspapaer. He was adamant about it and everyone else was laughing at him.

I'll never forget that.

Go fuck yourself Tucker, you slimy prick.

I wouldn’t do the Heimlich maneuver on him if he were choking on a piece of that filet he consumes at the Palm.

Since he performs the Hineylick Maneuver on Trump nightly

Don't be an *sshole.

Saw Christopher Plummer in a restaurant a couple years ago. No one's gonna swear at him because he's not an *sshole.

Right-wing media jerks make a living by insulting millions and creating divisions between Americans.

They fully deserve the tiny dose of their own medicine they get when someone swears at them.

look how he exaggerates the Sarah Sanders story "harangue" BS. She was politely asked to leave and we heard about it on the inter tubes. We would have heard about it had Tucker been screamed at. He's making it up so he can be a victim. It's what he does best.

Not that I doubt he's been told "fuck you" given the spew that flows from his mouth every weeknight, but I highly doubt its as a bad or as often as he makes it out to be. It's really a lie that goes to the central Republican lie and talking point that democrats are the "intolerant" party.

to surround his table and muffle the cries.

He makes his money by saying FU to the rest of us, He should be thankful people are watching and listening-otherwise he's out of job and won't be able to afford the expensive meals and have to dine at Waffle House like the rest of us.

You can stop being an asshole anytime, and people would probably leave you alone. You don't need the money and you're just taking a job away from someone who might actually be competent at it.
