Tucker Carlson publicly took down a New York Times reporter who requested comment about his Proud Boys tie.
In a post on X, political commentator and media personality Tucker Carlson revealed a request he received from reporter Adam Satariano, who prefaced that he was writing a story about how groups affiliated with the Proud Boys use the chat app Telegram to communicate.
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. Carlsons choice of wearing black and gold a sign of support for the Proud Boys?
Carlson did not hold back in his response, mocking the reporter for his conspiratorial insinuations.

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 wouldnt 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, Ive been outfoxed by your relentless shoe-leather journalism.
Darn you, New York Times. You win again.

Trump held his rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, which went viral for their lineup of speakers, including Elon Musk and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe.
Hinchcliffe, 40, took to the podium at Madison Square Garden on Sunday to deliver a series of jokes which included lewd and racist comments about Latinos, Jews and black people.
The jokes were typical for Hinchcliffe - a podcaster and writer known for his edgy, often dark humor and sharp roasts - but did not go down well. His joke calling Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage, in particular, has spurred national outrage.
But despite the controversy, Stocks for Trump media have surged following the Republicans rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
