Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday accused The New York Times of planning to publish his address, supposedly because "they hate my politics" and want to get his show off the air, while even suggesting the newspaper wouldn't be concerned if one of his children were to get hurt because of the story. The claim wasn't verified, and the Times denied there was ever a plan "to expose any residence of Tucker Carlson's." Still, numerous prominent conservatives are promoting the allegation, including Acting Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Ken Cuccinelli, who tweeted Monday night that the Times was "clearly" trying to incite violent action against Carlson.
