Tucker Carlson Sends Donuts To “Fat” CNN Anchor

The New York Post reports:

Has Tucker Carlson started a campaign to sugar-shame Brian Stelter? On Friday, Carlson’s own Daily Caller website reported that the Fox News personality had sent an unsolicited box of doughnuts to CNN’s Brian Stelter, a frequent critic of Carlson who recently said, “I just want Fox News to be a healthy part of the media ecosystem.”

Now pals of Carlson tell Page Six that Carlson — who just last week nicknamed Stelter CNN’s “house eunuch announcing proclamations from his tiny king [CNN president] Jeff Zucker” — will dispatch another box of Dunkin’ Donuts’ finest confections to Stelter next week.

It’s not quite clear what has prompted Carlson to mess with Stelter at this particular moment, though sources in the CNN camp think that Carlson’s intention is to “fat-shame” Stelter.

Donuts? If this is @TuckerCarlson‘s way of saying yes to my interview request, I’ll accept his silly delivery. https://t.co/eynnQ0bAOe
