Tucker: American Zelensky critic jailed (and tortured) in Ukraine
Twitter/X ^ | Dec 9 | Tucker Carlson

Posted on 12/09/2023 12:17:12 PM PST by RandFan

@TuckerCarlson

Ep. 47:

Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen who’s been tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime of criticizing Zelensky. Biden officials approve of this, because they’d like to apply the same standard here. The media agree. Here’s a statement from Gonzalo Lira’s father...

Lira is a Chilean Communist who happens to have US citizenship. He is jailed because he has been a vocal pro-Russian propagandist since the war started in 2022 and was very disappointed that his domicile in Kharkov wasn't overrun by his Russian buddies.

Carlson is revealing himself as a sensationalist, opportunistic liar. Everyone recognizes how that description fits the propagandists on CNN and MSNBC. But the right has them also.

Do you have a link? Cause, Tucker often finds the hidden truths... and white liberal elties hate him. That’s a good sign that he’s telling the truth.

The willful negligence of the boarder is treasonous as the fentanyl continues to kill many Americans everyday.

So much bullshit in a single post.

Well, the ultra-right-wing Daily Beast seems to confirm that he's a sleazeball and a supporter of Putin.

"Lira is a blogger, who made a transition from offering sleazy “dating coach” advice to men as “Coach Red Pill,” to providing propaganda fodder for the Russian state media that eagerly picked up and disseminated his multiple dispatches from Ukraine. In his videos, Lira insulted the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, and described Ukrainians defending their land from Russian invaders as “armed criminals.” Ukrainian authorities allege that Lira filmed Ukrainian soldiers, making a specific effort to capture their likeness and attempting to discredit their military service."

*snip*

"Lira blamed Ukraine for being attacked by Russia, describing the ongoing war as “one of the most brilliant invasions in military history.” He defended Putin’s motives, claiming that the Russians were taking special pains to avoid damaging civilian infrastructure or harming civilians and predicting that Ukraine would flourish under Russia’s control."

"He disseminated a number of debunked conspiracy theories, including Russian allegations of locating “American bioweapons labs” in Ukraine. Sources involved in the investigation say that Lira’s appearance on The Donbass Devushka’s show prompted additional scrutiny of Lira’s activities, which were being monitored after his questioning and release last year."

No sympathy from me.

Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen. If he has spoken against the Zelensky dictatorship, Ukraine can and should deport the man.

They have no right to imprison and torture him.

I am looking forward to the tyrant Zelensky getting his Mussolini farewell.

I expect him to depart soon.

“They have no right to imprison and torture him.”

Agreed. Communists should be shot on sight.
