Vladimir Putin joked about Tucker Carlson being rejected by the CIA after he finished college during his interview with the conservative polemist—his first with a western journalist since ordering the full invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
The interview was released on Carlson's website and X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday and covered Russian history, the war in Ukraine, NATO, imprisoned American journalist Evan Gershkovich and his relationships with Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
During the conversation Putin discussed the 2014 Ukrainian Maidan revolution, which led to the ousting of then pro-Moscow Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, which he claimed took place "with the backing of the CIA of course."
Addressing Carlson, Russia's president added: "The organization you wanted to join back in the day as I understand. We should thank God they didn't let you in. Although it is a serious organization I understand."
According to a 2017 profile of Carlson by The New Yorker, he tried to join the CIA after leaving Trinity College in Connecticut but was turned down as "the real-life agency, unlike its fictional counterparts, prefers not to hire young men who are gabby and insubordinate."

Oh come on, he’s not the damned FBI. About those post 1991 Putin lies?
Every time you post you remove all doubt. Just sayin
More like Geraldo opening Al Capone’s vault. Boring.
Your wasting your CIA talent here
Tucker also stole the attention away from Biden’s dementia debacles yesterday.
You’re
There’s “talent” in the CIA? LOL!
They think so..
Your talents could be more Steele Dossidiot FBIish, though..
You play the game right and you could be part of a coup to spy on a candidate that threatens the Deep State
U.S. Congressional delegation has just arrived in Kyiv. Russian strategic bombers are en route to their cruise launch lines over the Caspian Sea for a mass missile attack that will hit Kyiv in 2 hours or so. Attacking US congressmen and women with cruise missiles is not a smart move for Russia.
Russia Russia Russia!!
Just doesn’t work anymore..
Sorry.
Steele Dossier and everyday since has consequences..
Russia is stupid to think bombing US congressmen and women today will stop the supplemental funding deal.
Yet, there Carlson was...interviewing Putin...while you anonymously, hiding in the safety of your basement, post disdainful threads about Carlson.
You've shown us exactly what a "flop" is...and it ain't Carlson. Take a look in the mirror.
Tucker got punked by the Kremlin and he knows it.
Domestic enemies aka Congressmen and women traveling to their proxy money laundering mat during a proxy war is a stupid thing to do..
Dancing cat videos get more views than that.
Oh and...get some new Tucker pics. Your material is getting stale.
Tell Tucker to get some new facial expressions.
