Fox News’ Mark Levin delivered an implicit rebuke of President Donald Trump’s rhetoric about the ongoing war between Russian and Ukraine on Wednesday, debunking a series of false and misleading claims made by the president.
On his radio show, Levin delivered a history lesson on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s rise to power and various crimes, while going to bat for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“People claim to be speaking for you, who are not speaking for you, who are in the media, who are in other positions and so forth,” he continued. “Zelensky ordered martial law — that’s what the constitution there compelled. Zelensky hasn’t called for an election — that’s what the constitution there compels. Now, I’m waiting for the first free election for Vladimir Putin. I mean, this is almost comical in a sick way that Putin is demanding an election. Why is he demanding an election in Ukraine when he doesn’t have free and real elections in his own country? And why does he-, why does he get to call the shots when in fact, he murders people who dare to challenge him?”
“This is what we’re dealing with. Again, old KBG, and not just KBG, he [Putin] was in like Flynn with the Stasi in East Germany. So, I don’t know why there are people that not only oppose Zelensky, but seem to support Putin,” said Levin, attributing said position to a handful of pseudo-intellectuals” pushing “policies that in many ways are un-American in my view, and policies that if they had espoused these policies not that long ago, people would have wondered if they were on the take, or who they’re working for, something like that. Not that they are, but they would wonder.”

Did Mark “endorse” Kamerilla Harris?
I enjoy listening to his show when he goes off on gubmint, but the past few days with his rant about Ukraine/Zelensky, I’ve turned him off.
I could care less about Ukraine and Russia and if they want to wipe each other off the map so be it. I also don’t want any war, but I don’t want to pay any US tax dollars to support a corrupt regime fighting against another corrupt regime.
So if you have a different opinion from Trump you are a Neo-con or RINO? I’m pretty sure Mark is neither of these. Seriously people, we need to stop eating our own.
...or does he (like others) just get paid to talk and sell books?
>I enjoy listening to his show when he goes off on gubmint
Yes I have often praised him for those domestic rants. He can be mildly amusing.
It’s weird how he flips. I think he maybe more concerned with defense stocks.
That’s what I assume about certain Freepers sometimes. I really don’t know though...😂
Churchill?
How ANYONE can listen to Levin is beyond me.
That guy could bring down a child’s birthday party.
Nothing but non-stop yelling at clouds.
He is very depressing to listen to.
Given the choice to listen to him or Hannity,...I can’t even imagine.
Hannity is like the Steven Segal of talk radio. Knows everything, and is great at everything.
Mark has Russian/Ukrainian ancestors
Going against Trump on this is career suicide.
Because he doesn’t slobber all over Trump and act like a sycophant? Maybe someone should pass a law that it is illegal to criticize Trump. I am sure the usual suspects will find a way to justify it.
Follow the money.
Levin works for the Murdochs.
Ukraine has demonstrated that it is unwilling or incapable of being a tolerant multicultural ethnically diverse country. So let’s cut bait and redraw the map and stop the kiling,
It’s not opinion of a certain president he’s twisting historic norms which I’ve been talking to gator about
He needs to be honest.
Also, he’s well read and educated as an accomplished author he KNOWS way more than me about the historical precedence of non-interventionism in the USA which dates back to Washington!
Is he being honest? No. He’s not. He knows damn well what he’s doing/saying.
“He doesn’t even have free elections in his own country.”
I asked a Russian what would happen to someone who voted for a Putin opponent. He said, nothing, they just wouldn’t count the vote.
Nobody is “supporting” Putin.
The way he flips.... It’s strange.
It’s got to be motivated by something.
“The Grate one” 😂😂
I didn’t know he was a War Pig!
Yes to where though?
Murdoch runs a media empire so what specifically am I looking to follow? The Advertisers? Defense companies? Big Pharma? All of the above?
I suggest looking at their stock portfolios as well. I honestly think it motivates some here to be interventionist.
But i’m making assumptions and it seems petty.
There is no doubt those companies do well when the US is acting like the worlds policeman and handing out contracts like candy...
Mark is still afraid of Russia. He’s a smart guy on domestic matters but falls behind on World affairs.
Murdoch is Soros in sheep’s clothing.
They are both anti-nationalist open border globalists.
They are both New World Order and encourage one world gubmint.
When I said follow the money I was simply inferring Levin was singing for his supper, the supper being provided by the Murdochs.
DM has a headline that Jesse Watters has turned against Trump.
Haven’t gotten around to reading the details but I’m not surprised.
I have NEVER trusted Faux News since they tried to take down Trump in the 2016 primary debates.
