Ron DeSantis of Florida once might have kicked one of the Carlson\u200d family dogs.<\/p>\n<p>On\u200d Wednesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/intelligencer\/article\/michael-wolff-fox-news-rupert-murdoch-tucker-carlson-book-excerpt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New \u2063York\u2062 Magazine<\/a> printed a lengthy excerpt from author Michael \u200cWolff\u2019s new book, \u201cThe Fall: The End \u200dof Fox News \u2062and the Murdoch Dynasty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Wolff,\u2063 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/desantis-dismantles-reporter-unaired-segment-interview-discussing-black-lgbt-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeSantis<\/a> and his wife Casey visited the Carlsons\u2019 Florida home in the spring of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>By then, DeSantis had become Fox News founder Rupert Murdoch\u2019s choice for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination. Murdoch hoped that DeSantis\u2064 could make\u200c inroads with former President Donald Trump\u2019s MAGA voters \u200dby\u2062 impressing Carlson, a MAGA favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Wolff claimed that the DeSantis-Carlson meeting did not go well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Carlsons \u2063are dog people with four spaniels, the progeny of other \u2062spaniels they have had before, who\u200c sleep in their bed. DeSantis \u2064pushed the dog under the table. Had he kicked the dog? Susie Carlson\u2019s judgment\u2062 was clear: \u200bShe did not ever want to be anywhere near anybody like that ever again. Her husband agreed.\u2063 DeSantis, in Carlson\u2019s\u200b view, was a \u201cfascist.\u201d \u2064Forget Ron DeSantis,\u201d Wolff wrote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">LOL. Breaking \u2026 Ron DeSantis may\u2063 not \u200clike \u2063dogs.

Liberal\u2064 authors have a \u200clong\u200b history of distorting facts and misrepresenting\u200b the truth \u200din order to advance their\u2063 political ideologies.<\/p>\n<p>One need only \u2063look at\u2063 the scandal \u2062surrounding author\u2064 Michael \u2063Wolff\u2019s previous book, \u201cFire and Fury,\u201d to see how\u2064 far some \u200dliberal authors are willing to go for\u2062 attention and controversy.

We must not blindly accept the \u200dnarratives presented by \u200cliberal\u200c authors, but instead seek out multiple perspectives and sources to get a \u2062more complete and\u2062 accurate picture of the truth.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the world of literature and media is filled with \u200cliars, \u200cdamned liars, and liberal authors. They are all too willing to sacrifice truth and integrity in order to push\u2062 their own \u2064agendas. It is our responsibility to\u200c remain vigilant and discerning, and to hold these authors and publications accountable \u200dfor their falsehoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tucker Carlson debunked a recent claim that Gov.
