Tucker Carlson released the first episode of “Tucker on Twitter” Tuesday night, opening with a casual “hey, it’s Tucker Carlson” before moving into a discussion of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine and ridiculing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as “our shifty, dead-eyed Ukrainian friend in the tracksuit” and “sweaty and rat-like.”
