“my office is now getting calls from folks who say they watch Tucker Carlson and are upset that we’re not siding with Russia in its threats to invade Ukraine.”
What’s more, says Malinowski, these callers “want me to support Russia’s ‘reasonable’ positions” when it comes to potentially invading and annexing a sovereign nation.
Carlson for the last several weeks has accused the Washington foreign policy establishment of trying to gin up a war with Russia, despite the fact that President Joe Biden has repeatedly ruled out sending American troops to help defend Ukraine from a Russian invasion.
As The Daily Beast’s Julia Davis reports, Carlson’s anti-NATO rants have even become staples on Russian state TV.
