On Friday, Buzzfeed reporter Kate Aurthur attempted to go after Fox News’ host Tucker Carlson. Of course, Aurthur’s attempt turned out to be a total bust and exposed for the hatchet job that it was, as documented by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
What Happened?
Aurthur looked to score cheap political points on the left by tweeting out what she believed to be a compromising photo of Carlson:
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

As one might expect, this sad little jab majorly backfired on the Buzzfeed reporter. It turned out that the image was taken at a funeral and Carlson did not know that the woman who kissed him on the cheek was a sex worker.
Aurthur faced a considerable amount of backlash after her tweet and the woman seen kissing Carlson called out the Buzzfeed reporter:
You should be ashamed of yourself for this tweet. Yes, that’s Tucker and I after Dennis Hof’s funeral. And I am a sex worker, but also a human being. Care to comment? C’mon- if you can subtweet me, why not tweet right at me? #BuzzFucked

Unfortunately, Parreira’s point completely went over Aurthur’s head, as evidenced by the later’s response:
I'm answering you once, and then blocking you and muting the thread, for obvious reasons. Tucker Carlson preaches prescriptive morality on his show about family values in the most toxic, destructive, high-handed way, leaving no room for anyone to deviate. He is poison.

Sometimes, it’s good to know when you’ve lost. Kate Aurthur, instead of embarrassing Tucker Carlson as she clearly intended, only made herself look like an idiot.
