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.

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.

He’s not the only one
We’ve been infested by NRO types long as I’ve been here
Goldbergians
?
Pooty-Poot needs to prove he didn’t.
“OBSESSED spambot? Paid troll?”
Yep, non-stop. People are welcome to compare my 100,000 or so posts BEFORE the Ukraine War, and virtually none on Ukraine at all - and compare it to this Bot (or similar bots).
As to the claim by the Western Media that Putin had Navalny killed, I have YET to see anyone tell the world how Navalny’s death helps Putin. He had TOTALLY discredited himself by being on the wrong side of the Ukraine War, so he was never going to be a political threat.
(((PING!)))
To be added to the zeeper follies pinglist, ping me bro... we need laughter!
Who were the inmates that could have ‘collectively punished’ him?
None of what you cite can rule out mobsters amongst the prison population.
Putin in your mouth must transfer endorphins that cause these people to act silly.
No, Putin himself did not kill the guy. But he certainly decided that Alexi needed to die.
They even invented a name for his laugh, it's a guffaw. It's just another distinction.
You would think Tucker would be more loyal to Hunter after all those birthday parties and backyard barbecues.

Wow…take your meds….
When did he say this?
Not doubting you, I want to know.
That's a little like telling a zebra fan boy troll to leave FreeRepublic.
Having dealt with reporters on real life, I can tell you that they will chat up anyone and see what they can dog up.
I can tell you’ve never met a reporter, let alone been the focus of one.

So Tucker only “pretended” to be friends with Hunter Biden?
The Murdochs sure are pissed Tucker has become a bigger deal after leaving Fox than he was when he was on Fox. Meanwhile, Fox’s ratings have suffered.
No need for him to order it. They all knew he was somebody’s cutout. A labor camp— lovely Stalinist honoring ‘tradition’.
That’s how reporters operate.
It’s effective for James O’Keefe.
