Tucker Carlson Is Allied With Fellow Neo-fascist Vladimir Putin
FOX News poster boy spouts Russian propaganda
Many political pundits are shocked at far-right commentator Tucker Carlson’s latest outrage. But they shouldn’t be. Carlson is the poster boy for FOX News Channel, where apparently he can do no wrong. So far they’ve let him get away with pushing ridiculous propaganda such as “Patriot Purge,” spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and promoting white supremacy. It’s obvious Carlson has no editorial boundaries at Fox News.
However, his latest outrage is siding with Russia in its threat to invade neighbor, and former Soviet republic, Ukraine. Carlson is a shock jock who rose to the top of conservative media by making outrageous statements, but his latest comments are anti-American. Carlson backs Putin in his proposed Ukraine campaign.
“Why is it disloyal to side with Russia but loyal to side with Ukraine?” said Carlson. “They’re both foreign countries that don’t care anything about the United States. Kind of strange.”
These latest comments have outraged the chattering classes.
Pushing Russian propaganda
On MSNBC, Nicolle Wallace said Carlson has sided with authoritarian figures in the past.
