Tucker Carlson began releasing preview clips from his interview with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday, including one in which he asked Pezeshkian about Iranians chanting “Death to America.”
“Many Americans are afraid of Iran. You say you’re not afraid, but Americans are afraid of Iran. And they believe that Iran would like to strike the United States with a nuclear weapon. They see video of Iranians saying death to America, describing our country as the great Satan. What is your opinion of that? Should we be afraid?” Carlson asked.
“I believe that this is a very wrong impression that anybody might have of Iran or the Iranians. I would like to remind you that Iran has never invaded another country in the last 200 years. When they say death to the United States it doesn’t mean death to—they don’t mean death for the people of the United States or even to the officials of the United States,” Pezeshkian replied through a translator, adding:
They mean death to crimes, death to killing and carnage, death to supporting, killing others, to insecurity and instability. Have you ever heard that an Iranian killing [sic] an American? Have you heard that? Or a terrorist that was Iranian and he carried out a terrorist attack against the Americans?

Okay. And here I thought Iran was peeing on our leg. Turns out it’s just raining.
Tucker. What a dope. Did he actually accept that ridiculous answer lol? Yes, the Iranians, who oversee all terrorism in the world, only mean they want death to crime in America. Uh huh.
Tucker turned out to be such a tool.
Lol no kidding. Iran loves America so much that they want death to all of the negative goings-on in the country. Tucker is pretty desperate for some ratings, or attention, or something.
I can’t find it now, but I do recall that when Carlson was whining about Trump helping Israel to attack Iran, on one thread I jokingly mentioned that his next interview would be with the Ayatollah. I was close.
I would not waste my time watching the interview.....did Tucker give his stupid, arrogant laugh after the chief terrorist made the ridiculous remark? What a jerk.
Rumors are that Qatar is paying him.
That's the appropriate question, Tucker?
Nevermind should Americans be afraid.
Tucker should have asked, should Iranians say "Death to America"?
Tucker reminds me of Elon in some ways.
Iranians are smart, they get stupid Arabs to do all their dirty work so they can keep their skirts clean enabling their officials to lie like this to gullible foreigners.
When they say.. did not “invade”..
Does that include, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon. Gaza, W Bank and all the other places?
Or, Proxies just don’t actually count?
“Many Americans are afraid of Iran. You say you’re not afraid, but Americans are afraid of Iran.”
Who told this little wimp he speaks for anybody much less many Americans.
F off bowtie boy.
You would do a better job interviewing than Tucker.
Ha! Timely article:

Remember that short story, think it was called “flowers for Algernon”, don’t remember the author. It’s about a man with low intelligence who somehow (I forget how) gets smart. But only for a while. Then he sadly gets stupid again. It’s like Tucker is on the downside of that tale!
There was a movie I think, with a different title. Never saw that.
He was a proper jackass to Senator Cruz.....no republican politician should ever grant this jerk an interview ever again.
Death to islam!
Freedom for the people of Iran, including freedom to receive the Gospel of Christ!
The movie was Charly (with the y backwards) it starred Cliff Robertson. I read the SciFi novel back in Jr high. Don’t remember too much about it. I guess I wasn’t impressed.
Did Tucker ask the Iranian president how many people live in the United States or any of his other inane “gotcha” questions?
Or was Tucker his usual slavering self to enemies of the USA?
What a sell out.
