Tucker Carlson Finally Criticizes One of Putin’s Claims
Apparently, Tucker was completely deceived by all of Putin’s claims when the dictator lectured Carlson at length during his Moscow interview. As Newsweek covered,
Fridman specifically asked Carlson for his opinion on Putin’s justification for continuing the war in Ukraine, which in part is to achieve the “denazification” of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, has repeatedly dismissed the Kremlin’s claims that Kyiv’s government is openly “pro-Nazi.”
“I thought it was one of the dumbest things I’d ever heard,” Carlson told Fridman. “I didn’t understand what it meant… I hate that whole conversation because it’s not real,” he continued. “It’s just ad hominem. It’s a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn’t exist anymore.” [Yes, and that is why I have long doubted any excuses by governments about modern “NAZI” threats].
