Tucker Carlson Blasts CNN, Brian Stelter for Defending Antifa: ‘I Hope You’re Ashamed of Yourself’

Breitbart: Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted CNN and its head media reporter Brian Stelter Friday, accusing the network of “defending Antifa” after Stelter challenged a claim made by Carlson regarding Antifa’s harassment of his home.

CNN published a story from Brian Stelter Friday with the headline “Tucker Carlson claimed his door was ‘cracked’ by Antifa protesters. The police saw no sign of that.”

The article calls into question a singular claim made by Carlson to the Washington Post: that an Antifa activist cracked his front door by throwing his body against it.

Last week, Carlson’s wife was home alone when a D.C. Antifa group surrounded his home and terrorized his family. They shouted, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night!”

Brian Stelter has now, for some reason, decided to focus on one detail of Carlson’s account of what happened in order to cast doubt on his story.

Stelter writes:

Liberal critics of Carlson have cast doubt on that claim by saying there was no evidence of damage to the door. They have accused him of lying and exaggerating to score political points. So CNN contacted the D.C. police and asked about the door. The police report about the incident did not mention any damage on the door. Was there any sign that it was cracked, as Carlson claimed?

A police spokeswoman responded, “MPD did not observe any visible damage to the front door of the victim’s house the night of the incident.”

This paragraph is immediately followed up by this line: “It is still possible that the door was cracked.”

Stelter contacted Carlson for a comment on the story, to which he responded, “CNN has repeatedly defended Antifa, and you are doing it again now.”  MORE HERE
