Tucker Carlson’s Brother Caught Calling de Blasio Spox a ‘LabiaFace’
The dreaded reply all button had its way with Buckley Carlson, brother of The Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson on Wednesday when an exchange with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s spokesperson Amy Spitalnick took an ugly turn and ended up getting printed in full in the pages of BuzzFeed.
After Spitalnick requested a correction from one of Carlson’s writers and described their treatment of her as “appalling,” he responded to her directly, calling her tone “whiny and annoying” and telling her, “Outside of New York City, adults generally write polite, cheerful emails to one another, even when asking for corrections.”
At that point, Buckley Carlson, who was apparently BCC’d on the thread, replied all with this message:
Great response. Whiny little self-righteous bitch. “Appalling?” And with such an ironic name, too… Spitalnick? Ironic because you just know she has extreme dick-fright; no chance has this girl ever had a pearl necklace. Spoogeneck? I don’t think so. More like LabiaFace.
When he was asked by BuzzFeed for an explanation, Tucker Carlson replied, “I just talked to my brother about his response, and he assures me he meant it in the nicest way.”
This is the second time in as many weeks that Carlson’s internal actions at his conservative website have driven headlines across the rest of the internet. Last week, blogger Mickey Kaus revealed that he had quit his position with the company after Carlson informed him he was not allowed to criticize Fox News because he works there on the weekends.
Chris Hayes had some fun recapping the email saga Wednesday night. Watch the video below, via MSNBC:
