Former Fox host was spotted in the Russian capital, where he says he was to interview Putin about Ukraine war for X/Twitter show
Far-right pundit and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson confirmed on Tuesday he was in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin, and said he will air his conversation with Russia’s president to counter what he described as pro-Ukraine “fawning pep sessions” by western media covering the war.
Speculation had been growing for days that Carlson, who was dumped by Fox last year for “getting too big for his boots”, had traveled to the Russian capital to meet Putin, whose reasons for invading Ukraine he says have a right to be heard by the American public.
But his visit, which reportedly has included visits to the Bolshoi ballet and dining in fine restaurants, has drawn accusations he is acting as a propaganda tool for Putin, whom he has frequently defended. Russian media, meanwhile, has hailed Carlson as a celebrity “who speaks the truth”.
The true tragedy of Jon Stewart ending his CNN career is that his Fox career was far more successful and his getting fired from it hasn't really seemed to be as big a problem for him as people thought. It really sucks. I wish someone would do something about that mouth full of teeth he has.
Very grateful your link was this. For anyone who visits this link there is actually a brand new episode of American Experience called Nazi Town, USA and it should definitely be watched. I think it will be removed from pbs in just a couple weeks so watch soon.
This is so weird. Who aould want to hear Carlson of all people talk to Putin. Carlson isn't entertaining on his own and wouldn't have anything interesting to ask Putin about. And Putin wouldn't have any reason to answer an interesting question
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
