So hes just dropping the mask completely and confirming hes a Russian shill? I imagine Trump with run on a campaign of pulling out of Ukraine off the back of this.

Don't worry guys, a Kremlin spokesperson said that he thinks Tucker Carlson is unbiased.

He got his orders. Republicans and conservatives in general serve Russia's interests. Joseph McCarthy must be spinning in his grave so fast we could use his corpse to generate power.

He dropped the mask a long time ago. I remember seeing a clip from back when he was still at Fox News, where he openly and directly said he supports Russia in the Russia Ukraine war. This was during the first year of the war

Both of the people who still watch him since his departure from Fox are in for a real shitshow.

This tells us nothing we didn't already know about Carlson.

Are you kidding? Joey wouldn't give a shit, as long as the Russia they're kowtowing to is fascist rather than communist.

It should always be noted when discussing this that the Russians invaded with mobile crematoria. There is only one real reason to do so and Tucker, along with his enablers in the GOP, are literally trying to manufacture consent for mass murder and war crimes.

In Soviet Russia, truth spreads on you!

I just want to say as someone who works at a power plant and generates electricity via steam turbine I really dug this reference.

Russian agent supports Russia, more at 11

Conservatives suddenly doing a 180 on communism

Thanks for the heads up.

"It's a well-known fact that many people in Russia have bad balance and like standing next to large open windows. It's simply a coincidence that so many of the people who fell out of them were critics of President Putin." - Tucker Carlson, probably

So why do you want to watch this BS?

Poor Russians. No one stopped to ask them for their side of the story.

They didn't just invade out of no where for no reason at all.

Of course he does. Carlson was already spreading Putin propaganda when he had his show on Faux News. Now he gets to use the actual source to spread it.

This fucking guy could never pay enough to compensate this nation for the damage he's done and continues to do.

That's honestly kinda hilarious.

I remember people saying it was so they could burn the remains of their own soldiers to hide the true numbers of their losses, however burning up Ukrainian corpses to help cover up their war crimes or in addition to their own Russian soldiers makes sense as well.

Revoke his citizenship.

Why should anybody listen to a guy whose lawyers, successfully, defended him from a lawsuit by saying no serious person would believe anything he says?

Colluding with the enemy probably has some charge, right?

Bright side is that this might lead to Tucker Carlson catching a case of fell down a flight of stairs flu soon

doubt this even turns away his fanbase. Sad!

No chance. He's their beloved mouthpiece to the west. They love him. Putin wants Tucker airing all the time, carrying his water.

Wtf

I don't see it happening anytime soon, if only because Puppet Tucker is happily dancing to Putin's tune, and he's still more useful to him alive (at least for now).

Mask off Russian shill

Everyone should just start pushing that Tucker is an American spy set to oust Putin. We can all get this done together if we really tried.

Republicans, especially ones who would watch this fucker, do not care about the truth.

I would love to see Biden and his administration push the patriotism bias angle, and absolutely push for this because that would leave Republicans absolutely flustered in contradiction

Viktor Orban was just the amuse-bouche.

Tucker lives for being a contrarian but he will never leave my mind as the awkward Young Republican who walks around in a suit and bowtie implying that his peers aren't good enough.

This trip is sinister and the people comparing Tucker to others who interviewed Putin when he came to power 20 years are completely disingenuous.

This rises to the same level of a Logan Act violation with how blatantly US policy is about to be undermined. In Tucker's mind, might makes right and as long as you are just asking questions, you can say whatever you want.

lmao oh whoops

Seems pretty obvious that there has been a massive amount of russian meddling in american society in the last decade or so. The worrying thing is that it doesnt seem like there is any effort to really do anything about it. Its actually gotten to a point where a large portion of the country is actually approving of the russian meddling

Tucker doesn't give a damn about sovereignty. All he wants to do is run his mouth about perceived and actual corruption in Ukraine as being a decent excuse conquer it. Or maybe he'll jump in on the Maidan Revolution not being 100% by the book. Or Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine being coached and manipulated for unilateral annexation referenda. For Tucker, that's all fine.

As long as Putin doesn't personally wrong him, he doesn't care.

I hope CBP does a thorough investigation and collects everything on his return trip. It's their job to secure our borders after all.

Isn't a secured border what the Republicans are into these days? Would be a shame to set an exception to the rules that could be abused later on.

Someone should send in Oliver Stone so he can beat Tucker Carlson to a pulp.

This. Unregistered foreign agents should be treated as such.

If he says the wrong thing. He might have an accident. So he says the "right" thing.

tbh, if they really want to get the real scoop of what's happening over there they need to send over Nardwuar. Or the guy who does All Gas No Brakes.

Tucker's dad was a US Ambassador and the director of the Voice of America for half a decade so it's kind of bizarre that he became Putin's #2 Bitch.

I hate to say it, but his post does have almost half a million likes right now, so that's a fair estimate of how many red hats are probably going to watch, plus whatever amount of Dems tune in just to see what Fucker's interview results in.

Yeah, I forgot to account for the likes from the bots, but in any case, the interview will undoubtedly be reaching a lot of people, ironically or not.
