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 laughed manically”
TDS - Tucker Derangement Syndrome.
Navalny didn’t kill himself.
Tucker is a disgusting moron who thinks Hamas and Israel are morally equivalent. I hope he rots.
Did Lizard write this?
Give it a rest, marky mark.
Wasn’t this the Blue Guy in Narnia?😂
I like tucker. Even when he is wrong (and he is right on this one) I like that he soberly asks the question, listens to the answer, and then applies logic. But that damned laugh schtick...gotta go...loses cred every time he does it. It isn’t real...cut it out tucker, you aren’t kidding anyone with it and you don’t need it.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if Putin killed Navalny, show me the evidence Putin killed him?
Plus, what about Zalenskyy’s murder of Gonzalo Lira?
Was Trump responsible for Epstein’s death ?
Tell Russia to leave Ukraine.
It’s like he’s trying to larp around as amadeus.
My first thought it was CIA…. Just seems to benefit goals on Ukraine funding side more than Putin.
Stop supporting Soros and Schwab.
Tell Biden to stop sniffing kids.
Well, given that Navalny was likely a CIA paid operative set to overthrow Putin, I don’t much blame Putin for “Epsteining’ him. So, If tucker actually said that Putin didn’t order it, he could be wrong.
Two years ago, Biden gave Putin the green light to invade Ukraine and Putin and his incompetent army screwed up the whole deal.
Because Biden gets kickbacks and grift from the money funneled in.
It’s in our best interest that such funds cease.
And if you also equate Hamas and Israel, then you'll definitely rot.
