Tucker Carlson Defends Putin: 'Putin Never Called Me Racist'
Tucker Carlson defended Vladimir Putin in his opening monologue because apparently the Russian autocrat wasn't mean to the Fox News host and didn't call him names.
Carlson began by pretending Russia was always a US ally.
"Since the day Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington told you you have a patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin," he said.
This is a complete gaslighting of relations between Russia and the United States. For decades The Soviet Union was a sworn enemy of any Western democracy. After The Soviet Union collapsed, Russia was still a horrible player in the world. Putin has been a murderous thug for his entire career, poisoning those who criticize him at will.
Carlson said, "It is not a suggestion but a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason. Many Americans have obeyed this directive with Vladimir Putin and maybe you are one of them."
See, only Tucker is the rational one and you are under the hypnotic control of "Democrats in Washington."
Tucker claims it's only hatred for Putin that will bring the US into conflict, so, like Trump, Putin can do no wrong. Just kill thousands upon thousands of people from Ukraine, an ally of the US and NATO, and call it a day...
What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much?"
Carlson then launched into a psychotic fever dream.
