You did a kind thing by publishing this. Tucker indeed is a talented writer and this is a heartfelt tribute to his father.

What an incredible bio, and of course I heard it in Tucker's voice. I wish him, his family, and all his father's friends comfort and peace.

"I have moved beyond needing everyone to agree with me on everything. I’ve also moved beyond the need to dehumanize people who do not agree with me and make their own choices about what interests them." Beautiful statement, Sasha!

A beautiful tribute to a brilliant man who overcame his rough start in life to become a loving father to his children. What grit!

There's someone who should clearly have a biography published, and a movie as well.

I can see where Tucker gets his character and philosophy from.

Thanks Sasha.

His father's business that the "family never fully understood" also helps explain how Tucker knows so much about world affairs. He often seems to see behind the curtain.

"...he's a very talented writer..."

Look who's talking.

Takes one to know one.

Stop the presses! Pot calls kettle black!

Terrific, Sasha. Would have missed this Sasha, if it wasn't for you. What an amazing man and role model. That little Swedish girl had no idea, I suspect, of the gift she gave to mankind--and gift that has continued to give. Offers valuable insights into the inner workings of Tucker Carlson. Thank you! (P.S. your reading of the NewYork Times article about you was also intriguing, especially the side comments. Best wishes from one "old hag" to another. Keep up the good work 👏)

An incredibly poignant obituary of a really interesting man. God Bless Dick and the whole family.

“He had an outlaw spirit tempered by decency”

Love this line from Dick’s obit. Perhaps because this resonates with me, and I suspect many other free thinking Americans.

And I feel that same spirit in Tuckers posts and interviews.

The obit was beautiful and in true Tucker style … the line about his ‘wife departure’ speaks so much more for another time. I love Tucker and have from the time I started delving into US politics. I’m happy to see you share his show and writing.

Amazing life. To have experienced so much difficulty but to apparently have focused on the positive. So sorry for your loss, Tucker.

My father also died on March 24, albeit 6 years ago. It is always a tough day. Perhaps March 24 is a date that God chooses some of his greatest men to come home.

I've followed Tucker Carlson closely for well over 15 years and have immensely admired his work. So thank you for publishing the obituary he wrote for his Dad, as I hadn't seen it anywhere.

Oh - and good catch on his steely reference to his 'father's first wife's, who is most definitely also his own mother. But, then again, she literally abandoned them,cao I get it.

This is is a beautiful tribute to his father, and your re-publishing it, a beautiful tribute to Tucker.
