Tucker Carlson Throws Putin Under the Bus
Newsweek ^ | 2/29/2024 | Kaitlin Lewis

Posted on 02/29/2024 2:25:46 PM PST by marcusmaximus

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the "denazification" of the country was "one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard."

-snip-

Carlson also described his first impression of Putin as someone who "seemed nervous," telling Fridman that the Russian president "went into [the interview] like an over-prepared student."

Fridman specifically asked Carlson for his opinion on Putin's justification for continuing the war in Ukraine, which in part is to achieve the "denazification" of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is Jewish, has repeatedly dismissed the Kremlin's claims that Kyiv's government is openly "pro-Nazi."

"I thought it was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard," Carlson told Fridman. "I didn't understand what it meant."

"I hate that whole conversation because it's not real," he continued. "It's just ad hominem. It's a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn't exist anymore."

"We keep hearing that he’s dying of this or that disease, “He’s got ALS. I mean, I don’t know, I’m not his doctor. There’s a ton of lying about it."

Are posting that because you feel guilty about spreading those lies here?

Tucker needs to use his eyes and look at the images:

“Why is he nervous?”

In totalitarian countries the press is afraid of leaders. In free countries politicians are afraid of the press. I'm betting Putin also spent too long on his answers.

Tucker Carlson
He’s had some work done, for sure. He’s 71 or two.

Lex Fridman
(01:38:30) You mean visual purposes?

Tucker Carlson
(01:38:32) Yeah, I’m 54, he’s almost 20 years older than me, he looked younger than me.

Tucker’s interview was interesting but left out a number of important questions that he should have asked. So it was a glass half full and today’s comments do not change that.

“ He continued by pointing out that the coup government of Ukraine is building monuments to nazi heroes, naming streets after them etc.”

And Putin is fine with statues of Lenin, Marx, and Stalin from one end of Russia to the other.

What’s your point?
