If Fox News host Tucker Carlson is such a family values guy, why is he hanging around with a prostitute? BuzzFeed correspondent Kate Arthur posted this tweet Friday night, and then reposted it Saturday ’cause it was so awesome:
Remember @tuckercarlson's lecture during the height of family separation in June about how the left doesn't care about family values? Well, I'm not one to kink shame, but here he is with a sex worker. Go Tucker? pic.twitter.com/B4qfAD9RTB

She owned Carlson so hard she couldn’t help but re-up her amazing takedown.
Bumping this from last night! https://t.co/vagBBJmsSR

Because you want to show the world that not only was your tweet logically incoherent and ridiculously unfair, but that you are unwilling or unable to learn from your mistakes? OK, your call.

Yeah, it looks like Carlson’s really getting it on with Christina there. Is that a massage table in the background? Actually, it looks more like a casket. Fortunately for those who care about context, the man who took the photo chimed in:
I took that photo at… a funeral. Christina didn’t even tell Carlson her profession. All anyone spoke about that night was our dead mutual friend. It was the most PG-rated night in Nevada history

It’s been unreal to wake up and see someone take a photo I took at my dear friend Dennis Hof’s funeral and use it to smear a sex worker in the name of wokeness. Carlson didn’t even know Christina had worked as a hooker, and Christina didn’t even discuss politics with him https://t.co/NLgsgH4ckp
— Mitchell Sunderland (@mitchsunderland) February 23, 2019
And to be honest, none of us know how Dennis died because the autopsy results still haven’t been released. Everyone is still grieving. This whole Twitter controversy is opening up fresh wounds, but I’m glad someone got her daily woke Twitter points!

WHAT A SCOOP! Sex worker tries to kiss Tucker Carlson on the cheek at a funeral!
This is bizarre. The woman, a sex worker at a funeral, essentially threw herself at him and a few photos were taken. How is this news? How is this a valid criticism of @TuckerCarlson or his views? It seems Tucker didn’t even know her profession! Big whoop. ? https://t.co/gYSDr9riAS

Oh honey – what a RATIO!

It's not a surprise that you work at Buzzfeed. Won't be long till there's more layoffs! In no way is this valid criticism of the man.
— Mr. A (@MrA_2018) February 23, 2019
Here's hoping for more layoffs.

You’ve made me so happy I’m not like you!

I don’t know anything about him.
But what does being next to a sex worker have to do with someone’s family values? What does it have to do with anything at all?
That’s a picture of a guy you dislike next to a human you don’t even know anything about. That’s all I see.
— Krystal Clear NJ (@KrystalClearNJ) February 23, 2019
The obvious interpretation of this picture is that she's attempting to kiss him and he's pulling away from it, amused, not angry. Who's supposed to feel ashamed? ??

This is super gross. Way to contribute to stigma, Kate!!

I was sad that you wrote this, then I saw you worked for Buzzfeed and now I know why.
— Senor Papaya (@atlharp) February 23, 2019
WTF is this? So you’re shaming him because he’s in some photo with a sex worker? Wow, what’s next? You going to show him in a photo with a gay guy and insinuate he’s gay? Don’t even get what you’re trying to say here?
— Bethany (@TheQuinn6) February 23, 2019
I'm sure you have more evidence beyond a photo taken at a funeral, right? It would just be bad journalism to make unsubstantiated character assassination attempts, and BuzzFeed would never do that.
— Uncommon Sense (@failed_testing) February 23, 2019
And how did this affect your life? You are so twisted that you are implying that being friendly to others at a funeral is shameful. She is also a pretty decent writer. Maybe that is a better reason to shame him given the credibility of those of your profession lately.

You’re in trouble if this is the best you can do.

So I guess we should all ask for a resume or anyone wanting to take a pic with a celebrity. #TooStupid4Words
— Nell (@2Serious4U) February 23, 2019
Well @BuzzFeed, good to see you're paying the classiest people to work for you. Kate's a real winner here taking a photo from a funeral and going way off on the in depth analysis. At least she gets you plenty of #Ratio clicks, right?

Who'd have thought a self-righteous hack would be popping up with an opinion & taking things out of context. How's the company?

He looks like he’s being accosted and is trying to be polite about it. Go away.

He looks so comfortable in her embrace don’t you think? What an embarrassing hit job. Learn to C…

Oh you really got him now! ?
— Jack (@NotaTreeStump) February 23, 2019
Better post it one more time to make sure Tucker Carlson’s hypocrisy is exposed to everyone on Twitter.
Ah Buzzfeed…you never disappoint. How far the press has fallen when THIS now represents journalism. Not the slightest bit of research into this biased and targeted click bait attack, not the least shame in blatantly lying. Of course, you'll apologize to Tuck, right…?
