We reported recently about how some leftist journalists are trying to play gotcha with prominent conservatives like Tucker Carlson and Ben Shapiro. One of them, New York Times “technology correspondent” Adam Satariano, basically accused (or at least implied) that Carlson was a fan of the Proud Boys, a group that leftists describe as “far right.”
The reporter asked Carlson about his tie, of all things:
The inquiry read: ‘In some Telegram posts from chapters of the Proud Boys, they discuss Mr. Carlson wearing black and gold colors at the recent MSG rally for former President Trump in New York.
‘Members of Proud Boys have interpreted this as a sign of support for the Proud Boys, which use black and gold as their official colors…was Mr. Carlson’s choice of wearing black and gold a sign of support for the Proud Boys?’
Carlson’s response was brutal:
The New York Times knows a Proud Boys necktie when they see one. pic.twitter.com/F3UVBwDw70

Tucker’s answer was loaded with sarcasm:
He responded facetiously: ‘Yes, this is an official Proud Boys necktie. I received it at my Proud Boys initiation several years ago, after swearing a blood oath to the global fascist revolution and the sacred principles of Q Anon.
‘As you can imagine, I wouldn’t normally admit this. The rules of secret societies being what they are, anything related to dress code is supposed to be confidential. But in this case, I’ve been outfoxed by your relentless shoe-leather journalism.
‘Darn you, New York Times. You win again.’
Ha! Take that, Adam.
