Ten days after Tucker Carlson attacked POTUS and First son in law Kushner, departure of his advertizers has accelerated. There is some speculation that Tucker Carlson is not out of character in his coverage of BLM protests but what is new is his harsh attack on First Son in Law Kushner who is reportedly a key pillar behind MAGA plans and strategies. His "racist" comments about Iraqi people were also made over a decade ago. Still, there is no credible MSM reporting suggesting that MAGA White House is hitting back against Carlson the same way it went after Steve Bannon after he harshly criticized First Son In Law or what he called "West Wing democrats". Expecting Trump to tweet soon to defend Tucker Carlson, that should end such speculation quickly.
On a different note, shocking language being used in some of the media criticisms of Senior WH adviser/First son in law clearly has crossed the line.
Fox News’ Tucker Carlson goes after Trump and Kushner over protests
The host criticized the president’s handling of demonstrations sweeping the country, and laid into his son-in-law and adviser over how to respond.

Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, expressed dismay at President Donald Trump’s leadership on Monday, criticizing the president’s handling of mass protests that have engulfed cities across the country and singling out an influential member of his family.
Carlson, who often uses his show to ardently defend the president and attack Trump’s foes, lambasted the nation’s leaders across the political spectrum for letting protests get out of hand. He also went after Jared Kushner, saying “no one has more contempt” for the president’s supporters than Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser. He accused Kushner of breaking starkly from Trump’s platform and talking Trump out of taking decisive actions.

Trump Takes a Big Bite Out of Fox News, the Hand That Feeds His Base
May 22, 2020
From the business perspective of Fox News, this is about as unhelpful a tweet as President Trump could have offered…
In his tweet, the president makes explicit the subtext at which he’s hinted in the past, when offering complaints about how Fox had “forgotten the people that got them there”—meaning, of course, his and the network’s shared base of conservatives and Republicans. Previously, he had chastised Fox for allowing Democratic voices on the airwaves without articulating the other side of the coin. Here, he’s just saying it: Fox isn’t helping to elect Republicans, which, it clearly follows, they ought to be doing.

How the scion of one tri-state crime family married into another, in a story equal parts ‘Sopranos’ and ‘Game of Thrones.’
By James Kirchick
...
Determined to prevent Billy from testifying, Charles set up a honey trap for his brother-in-law in a motel room—fully equipped with video cameras—and paid a prostitute $10,000. Kushner then sent a tape of the assignation to his sister, who promptly turned her brother’s attempt at blackmail over to the authorities.
Kushner was also implicated in the simultaneous downfall of his political protégé McGreevy, who became infamous for a live televised resignation during which he announced to the world that he was “a gay American.” Thanks to this cynical deflection, most today remember McGreevy as having done nothing worse than commit marital infidelity under the duress of his decision to marry a woman and live his life in the closet. But the main reason McGreevy was forced to step down from his post was that his former lover, an Israeli man named Golan Cipel whom he had put on the state payroll in a make-work job, was threatening to sue him for sexual harassment.
So, who was Golan Cipel? McGreevy had met Cipel several years earlier in Israel, and it was Charles Kushner who sponsored the young Israeli’s work visa to the United States and then generously employed Cipel in one of his companies before the governor hired him. Some speculated that Kushner, recognizing the blackmail potential of this arrangement, persuaded Cipel to threaten McGreevy with exposure. That would explain why, 10 minutes before McGreevy’s tearful confession, a lawyer representing Cipel called McGreevy’s office conveying the message that the jilted lover would keep their affair secret if the governor fulfilled an odd request: grant a charter to Touro College allowing it to open a medical school in New Jersey—a medical school for which Charles Kushner had raised money and hoped to name after his late mother. (At the time, Kushner, through his lawyer, denied any involvement.)
