However, Carlson is pushing back against these claims.<\/p>\n<p>The book describes how Fox \u200bNews urged Carlson to\u200b stay &#8220;open-minded&#8221; about DeSantis, who was favored by Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch. Carlson invited DeSantis over for lunch, but the experience caused tension \u2064between them. According to the book, DeSantis had a \u200clack of social awareness and\u2063 drew the ire \u2063of Carlson&#8217;s wife.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] md:float-left\" id=\"in_article_related_stories\">\n<h2 class=\"mb-3 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Related\u2064 Stories<\/h2>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/tucker-carlson-speaks-out-on-fox-news-reveals-what-he-will-never-do-again-5485047?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3>Tucker Carlson Speaks Out on Fox\u200d News,\u200c Reveals What He Will &#8216;Never&#8217; Do Again<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">9\/1\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/tucker-carlson-speaks-out-on-fox-news-reveals-what-he-will-never-do-again-5485047?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/body-language-expert-reveals-clues-from-gop-debate-trump-mug-shot-tucker-carlson-interview-5481515?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/p>\n<h3>Body Language Expert Reveals Clues From Trump Mug Shot, GOP Debate, \u200bTucker Carlson Interview<\/h3>\n<p>            <\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">8\/28\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/body-language-expert-reveals-clues-from-gop-debate-trump-mug-shot-tucker-carlson-interview-5481515?ea_src=author_manual&#038;ea_med=related_stories\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The book excerpt\u200d describes the alleged incident:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Ron \u2062DeSantis sat at her table \u200dtalking in an outdoor voice indoors, failing to observe any basics of conversational ritual or propriety, \u200dreeling off an unself-conscious list of his\u200d programs \u2063and initiatives and political accomplishments. Impersonal, cold, uninterested in anything outside of himself. The Carlsons are dog people \u200bwith four spaniels, the progeny \u2062of other \u200bspaniels they \u200dhave had before, who sleep \u2062in \u200ctheir bed. DeSantis pushed the dog under \u200cthe table. Had he kicked \u200cthe dog?\u2064 Susie Carlson\u2019s judgment\u200d was clear: She did not ever want to be\u2063 anywhere near anybody like that ever again. Her husband agreed. DeSantis,\u200c in\u200c Carlson\u2019s view, was a &#8216;fascist.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, \u2063Tucker Carlson quickly refuted\u200c these claims:<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>    &#8220;This is absurd,&#8221; Mr. Carlson said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/ron-desantis-tucker-carlson-dog-table-michael-wolff-book-2023-9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> to\u200b Insider. &#8220;He never touched \u2062my dog, obviously.&#8221;\n  <\/div>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>    Mr. Carlson also disputed \u200bthe incident in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tucker-carlson-debunks-totally-made-up-story-that-claimed-desantis-kicked-his-dog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> to Daily Wire, calling it &#8220;totally\u200d made up&#8221; and &#8220;ridiculous.&#8221;\n  <\/div>\n<p>The DeSantis campaign has also denied the \u200cclaim \u2064made in the book.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>    \u200d   &#8220;The totality of that story is absurd and false,&#8221;\u200c DeSantis campaign communications director Andrew Romeo <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PhilipWegmann\/status\/1704526308699492566\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> RealClearNews on Wednesday. &#8220;Some will say\u200d or write anything \u200cto attack Ron DeSantis because they know\u2063 he presents a \u2063threat\u200c to their \u200bworldview.

In the blurb\u200c for Wolff&#8217;s book, publisher Macmillan claims he had &#8220;unprecedented access to the Murdoch family and key players in the \u200bworld of Fox.&#8221; \u2063However, the excerpt \u200cpublished by New York Magazine\u2063 provides little information on\u2063 how Wolff obtained this disputed\u200b account.<\/p>\n<p>Wolff&#8217;s \u200dprevious work \u200bhas faced scrutiny.\u200b Fact-checking site Politifact noted \u200cfactual errors in his book &#8220;Fire and Fury: \u200cInside the Trump White House.&#8221; Trump White\u200c House Press Secretary\u200b Sarah Huckabee-Sanders criticized the book, calling it &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tucker-carlson-refutes-new-books-claim-that-ron-desantis-accosted-his-dog\/\" title=\"Tucker Carlson denies book's claim of Ron DeSantis confronting his dog.\">completely tabloid gossip full<\/a> of false and fraudulent claims.&#8221; \u2062President Trump himself denounced the book as &#8220;full of lies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>NTD \u2064News reached \u200dout \u2064to Wolff for comment, but he did not respond.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n    <em>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ntd.com\/tucker-carlson-refutes-new-books-claim-that-ron-desantis-accosted-his-dog_943305.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NTD News<\/a><\/em>\n  <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2062What does this\u200d controversy \u2062raise in \u200dterms of \u2063the role of journalists \u200band news organizations in \u2062maintaining impartiality and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/usa-today-editor-was-fired-for-massive-error-blames-white-supremacy\/\" title=\"USA Today Editor Was Fired For Massive Error, Blames \u2018White Supremacy\u2019\">journalistic ethics<\/a><\/h2>\n<p><span>  Om\/news\/tucker-carlson-denies-ron-desantis-assaulted-dog&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; rel=&#8221;noopener&#8221;>statement<\/a> to The Daily Wire, calling it a &#8220;total fabrication.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The allegations made in Wolff&#8217;s book \u2064have generated controversy and speculation.

However, his spokesperson released a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kenferguson123\/status\/1435151556825798657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet<\/a> stating, &#8220;These claims are baseless and \u2063ridiculous.
