Representative Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, criticized Fox News Thursday for having retired Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor, who has made controversial comments about Russia’s war in Ukraine, on as a guest.
“Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch – Why do you continually put Douglas MacGregor on @FoxNews to spread Putin’s propaganda and lies? This is absolutely not in America’s interest,” Cheney said in a tweet referring to the Murdochs, who control Fox Corporation.
Cheney’s comments came after Macgregor made an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Thursday. During his interview, Macgregor said that “almost from the very first moment that the Russians moved into eastern Ukraine, a succession of retired generals and political hacks in Washington and London and elsewhere have been declaring imminent victory for Ukraine.
“Seven months later and the Ukrainian army is bled white, tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded, Ukraine is really on the ropes and trying to create the illusion that that’s not the case,” Macgregor said.
