Notorious former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin – the reason for his visit to Moscow – and said he has requested an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Quote: “We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We’ll be doing that soon.”
Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.
The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.
And none of the numbskulls who consume his hateful rhetoric will ever believe that.
It seems like they already know and that’s what they like about him.
Tucker CarlsonThe Republican Party.Russian asshat.
The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.
The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.
Maybe Zelenskyy could just toss him in a POW camp.
He doesn’t deserve such nice accommodations. Traitors go to B9.
Folic Acid?
If I were Zelensky, I’d only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.
And then I’d still do the interview over Zoom.
I like your thinking but I would send him to the front lines instead to interview the commanders in the trenches and make him see what Russia is really doing up close and personal.
Ooh I like that! You don’t even need to tell him beforehand, just put him in a tent with a laptop for a 30 second zoom call Zelensky says Tata, I have to go. But if you really want to learn about the war interview my troops. Then just leave him for a day
You know Tucker will whine about it endlessly if he can’t get an interview. And also if he can.
I would bet that Fucker Carlson didn’t actually ask for an interview with Zelensky, but just says he did so he can get “denied” and have a rant about who the real nazis are…
2028 this anal wart is running for president. Mark my words.
We then will need Jon Stewart to run against him, to wipe the floor with him. Again.
That is a terrifying thought.
He could actually win it.
Yea you’re not wrong. The Republicans are playing the long game here. They’re really getting involved with the youth, I mean just look at rumble for example and whatever other medium they’ve been using. The Democrats are virtually non-existent it feels like on the social networking side of things or maybe it’s just the Right is obnoxiously loud. It’s scary man, if they can mobilize and weaponize the younger demographic voters then what does that spell for the short term (2028) or even the longer term when their ideals are fully cemented and are less likely to be swayed unless a serious upheaval happens.
I just can’t believe the left’s strategy of being holier than thou Karens that ain’t half as smart as they think they are, and covering that with moral outrage meant to dissuade anyone from thinking too critically, has backfired.
Tucker Carlson is like Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis; they can be propped up by right-wing propaganda but when it comes down to actually needing to deal with people they are so fundamentally and viscerally unlikable that they can’t win anything outside of safe Republican spaces.
Even the people who like Tucker Carlson’s shtick don’t like Tucker Carlson.
…is that golden boy Hoshoryu as your profile picture?
Sure is; I screen grabbed that fantastic smirk from a SUMO PRIME TIME video.
Useful idiot
He’s not an idiot. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Someone can knowingly be an idiot.
He doesn’t know he’s useless though.
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.
A lot of these extreme “center” (ahem) media personalities are simply doing it for views. Boggles my noggin.
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican.
I have this Mandela-effect thing where I am certain I remember him being on The Daily Show ages ago, and not as a raging republican. At one point I thought I might have him confused with Mo Rocca. In any case, I have found no evidence that he was, I think I have just badly misremembered.
Is it possible you’re thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson’s show, rather than vice versa?
No that’s way WAY too recent. I’m talking 90s or very early 00s.
To be clear, I have made peace with the fact that this is a false memory, but it persists nonetheless. 😀
He can be an idiot and still be self aware
Useful how?
Useful to Putin. Not the rest of the world.
Why do you say he’s an idiot?
Probably because of all the things he says and does
You can tell by the way he is.
Something like that

Whatever the commenter deems it’s definition, I would like to hear why they said he’s an idiot
They said that he was a “useful idiot” which has a specific meaning.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Useful_idiot
A useful idiot is a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause—particularly a bad cause originating from a devious, ruthless source—without fully comprehending the cause’s goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause’s leaders.
Thank you. That would make the most sense. Would still be nice to hear the commentor’s reasons
Tucker Carlson remains dedicated to "both sides"ing even to the point of giving a soft ball interview to a dictator.
That’s remarkably charitable. I’d say he’s committed to serving the side of evil enough to softball a dictator.
People say I’m a generous person - though I’ll happily admit I can no longer even read that asshats name with hearing Seth Meyer’s impression in my head. Ma Boi TC got that perfect JAQing off voice.
“The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. **He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).” **
Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I’m not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn’t smell 97% probable.
Musk just wants to end the war sob. Won’t anyone think of the
childrendictators. /sHis only problem is that he cares too much 😭
Republicans love Russia.
Make
socialismdictatorship great again!Damn right!
I hope they’re meeting in a skyscraper so Tuck Tuck can get a good view of Moscow.
Good view from halfway down?
It’ll seem like it’s coming at him really fast though
He’ll just get to experience it all at once
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
the keywest butt tickler for president ?
I dunno man, that guy is walking,talking garbage.so yeah, he’s a shoe in for this country. crap.
Stay the fuck in Russia Tucker.
Maybe Zelenskyy can agree and put him in jail until the war is over.
He is a Russian asset, so Zelenskyy wouldn’t even be in the wrong.
Wouldn’t be the first journalist.
You need integrity and credibility to be a journalist.
I agree. Can you link anything wich would show him not having those?
His entire fox news career??
Please be more specific. Not only is it not possbile for me to go his entire fox news career. I doubt i’d find something at that scope.
You probably won’t accept this because it’s leftie-liberal John Oliver, but here you go.
But seriously, if you can’t tell what kind of a person Tucker is just by watching his own programs… Idk what to tell you.
Anyone with half a brain understands that he’s a soulless hack bought and paid for by Russia.
What’s your excuse?
Maybe while travelling from Russia to Ukraine, he’ll become a casualty of a genocidal invasion he supports.
Inb4 Tucker Carlson dies in the next few weeks, and everyone in close contact with him suffers serious illness, all in an attempt to get at Zelenski.
Check your underwear, Carlson, that’s more of a risk to you than any window.
Think Carlson will put a GPS in his ass so Putin can get coordinates on Zelenskyy?
That’s what Carlson heard them say, but he didn’t see what it was they put up there forcefully and repeatedly.
Are you suggesting he will randomly autodefenestrate himself?
I think the implication is that the tea might have been glowing. No window required.
Ya, I know. I just really wanted to use that word somehow.
I think it was a great use of the word! Anybody seeking to expand their vocabulary is top shelf in my book.
I just think that spicy tea would help to spread the death a bit better.
How can you enjoy your tea without a window?
Oohh Elon will allow free speech on Twitter when it benefits him
Absolutely.
Well, he is probably trying to get Putin to invade Canada, because he couldn’t get the US to do it.
