Sure, let us hear what the war criminal has to say. What a horror show

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Carlson’s interview was the worst propaganda piece I’ve seen from the right yet. He fanboyed so hard, he didn’t even realize that he agreed with Putin’s assertion that eastern Poland belonged to Russia. Putin himself called the interview a disappointment due to Tucker’s lack of challenging questions.

Then he goes and gushes over a “Russian” grocery store that was actually a French chain in Russia. He first jabbed at the homeless when he encountered a coin operated shopping cart. At the end, he boasted about how he easily bought groceries at such a low cost compared to the US, neglecting to realize that he spent 20% of a Russian’s monthly income on a week’s worth of food.

It was an embarrassment.

He realized.

He just knows his viewers are morons.

Tucker Carlson is not stupid. He's malicious and servile, the Wormtongue of the right, never forget it.

…in a country that houses multiple war criminals, even as presidents.

So, it's totally on brand.

I think Miami or just Florida as a whole has the highest concentration of deposed dictators in the world.

let republicans expose themselves as pro war war mongers in an election year.

Pretty sure everyone knows the GOP has been war hungry since forever. The larger problem is many Dems are also in that camp. The military is big business and neither party has motivation to change that because they enjoy the money

[-] cupcakezealot 1 points 1 year ago

yeah but they also tried to play themselves off as opposing wars during the trump years

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

They've exposed themselves as war mongers for decades and it hasn't harmed them at all. What makes you think it'll be different this year?
