Moment Tucker Carlson jumps to Putin’s defense AGAIN as he attacks theory Russian despot had dissident Alexei Navalny killed
Daily Mail ^ | 2/21/2024 | Paul Farrell

Tucker Carlson once again leaped to the defense of Russian President Vladimir Putin and claimed that anyone who thinks the brutal strongman was responsible for the untimely death of his main political opponent Alexie Navalny 'are idiots.'

Carlson, 54, was speaking with fellow former Fox News host Glenn Beck on the latter's BlazeTV network when he made his remarks.

'Navalny’s death during the Munich Security Conference, in the midst of disputes about aid to Ukraine, is definitely not beneficial for Russia. People who say Putin killed him are idiots,' Carlson said.

-snip-

Speaking about having been asked to comment about Navalny's death by DailyMail.com on Friday, Carlson said: 'I don't know anything about Navalny. I didn't know that he died. I didn't know anything,' after which he laughed manically.

Carlson's most recent remarks are a fire cry from his statement in which he decried Navalny's treatment.

In an exclusive statement to DailyMail.com, Carlson said: 'It's horrifying what happened to Navalny. The whole thing is barbaric and awful. No decent person would defend it.'

In the wake of Carlson's comments to Beck, DailyMail.com has reached out to the host for further clarification as to what he felt was 'horrifying' about 'what happened to Navalny' and what was 'barbaric and awful' about it.

His death came just days after Carlson conducted a 'soft ball' interview with Putin in Moscow.

My first thought it was CIA…. Just seems to benefit goals on Ukraine funding side more than Putin.

Sure, it was the CIA when the victim is poisoned, attacked with acid, beaten up, put in the harshest Russian gulag there is, and then dies “suddenly & unexpectedly". Definitely not what Putin wanted. Okay

Tucker’s little tour of Russia was just so weird. He has become a commentator who is strictly in the camp of “if liberals hate it, then it must be good.” He’s applying that flawed logic to Russia, which is a mistake. It’s unclear if Tucker wants either money or power, or both. But there’s no doubt in my mind that he’s a POS.

Tucker’s emails begging Hunter Biden to write a college recommendation letter for his son were on The Laptop From Hell. Remember Tucker’s on-air panic attacks back when the Hunter laptop files were first released?

Cui bono?

There are anti-Putin mafia groups in Russia. It's plausible that they would have contacts within the prison population.

Offing Navalny (a' la Tom Hagen with Frankie Pentangeli) would be more advantageous politically to the mobsters than anything he could have accomplished alive, with his sub-5% approval rating in Russia (of course, 99% in the west).

You realize don’t you that everyone here knows you are a Uke Spook. You fool no one. Your propaganda threads are only read for laughs. It’s so transparent. You along with your other Dpook cohort are running jokes.

Post more links so we know the one to ignore.

I don’t care about Tucker. The same liars who claimed a pee tape from Russia was real and the laptop was Russian hoax, now say differently. I want to trust their intelligence but how?

We “know” he did it via massive assumptions or plain old “we did it like the nordstream explosion but we’ll blame it on someone else.”

Tucker was praying that the Laptop From Hell was a hoax because he didn’t want anyone to find out about his emails to and from Hunter Biden.

Got any proof of that or is it just another flatulent puff from you?

Its not lack of money, Tucker Carlson inherited $190 million from his step mother Patricia Swanson.

Did Putin have him killed? Probably, but it could have been another Commie goon. Vince Foster may have been murdered on Clinton’s orders, or maybe someone else iced him. Same with Bill Colby, Ron Brown, Sasan Chaffee, etc. No solid proof, only speculation.

EXCLUSIVE: Who knew? Emails reveal the unlikely close friendship between Hunter Biden and Tucker Carlson: President’s son wrote Georgetown recommendation for TV star’s son and got him to intervene in a news story about him using cheating website

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10272869/amp/Hunter-Biden-Tucker-Carlson-close-friends-emails-show.html

Emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop show Tucker Carlson and the president’s son were once close friends

The Fox News host failed to disclose the true extent of his friendship throughout his extensive coverage of the scandals surrounding Hunter’s business and personal transgressions

In emails Hunter professed his ‘love’ for Carlson and his family, called him ‘buddy’ and told him ‘you’re a friend’

One exchange revealed Carlson even intervened on a 2015 DailyMail.com story about Hunter’s use of extramarital affairs website Ashley Madison, on Hunter’s behalf

‘This whole thing is disgusting and awful and it breaks my heart that you all have to go through it. I’m really sorry,’ Carlson wrote

Another email from 2014 the news anchor thanked Hunter for writing a recommendation letter for his son’s Georgetown University application
