Tucker Carlson has claimed the United States 'hates' Russia because 'it's a Christian country' - amid claims in Moscow that he's trying to land an interview with Vladimir Putin.
The former Fox News star told MCC Feszt, a social, political and cultural festival in Hungary, that Russia is like Hungary in that both are nations 'built on Christian precepts'.
'That is enough to incite our policy makers in the United States and that is exactly why they hate Russia,' he said.
Carlson told the audience at the festival - which ran through the final weekend of July - that he is 'not a fan of Russia'.
He added: 'One thing that Russia and Hungary have in common is a big part of the population identify as Christians. Why would that be provocative?
'A huge part of Malaysians identify as Muslim. Fine with me. But it's not fine with Washington at all, it's deeply offensive to see that alive in Europe. And that is the core - it's not rational, this is happening on a gut level, but it is expressed through policy.'
Hungary, a member of both the European Union and NATO, has come under scrutiny from western leaders because of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's favorable approach to Russia and his reluctance to support military aid for Ukraine.
The country has also faced criticism after the recent passage of laws which critics say impose curbs on LGBTQ rights. The US has publicly denounced the legislation.
A clip of Carlson's 27-minute speech was posted to X as the editor-in-chief of Russia Today, the Kremlin-controlled Russian news organization, said Carlson was trying to secure an interview with Putin.

Why would you think that? Tucker is absolutely right.
A Christian country with an atheist government. Been that way for almost 103 years. Anyone who takes issue with that, read Russia’s constitution and compare it with the USSR one; they are not different enough.
The left (and uniparty) hates Russia because it is shedding the DSC, like we need to do here in the US (and we are, in fact).
Every nation on earth has a component tied to the DSC. Any nation at least with a “central bank”, as they are all tied to the Rothschilds-et-al and FED banksters. Russia is further than the US in the shedding and exposure timeline.
LOL
russia isn’t Christian by any real definition
putin is responsible for countless evil acts
it is the evil that everyone hates about putin and russia
Au contraire. This speech made me like Tucker Carlson even more.
At best TC would get an interview with the ‘Double’ who does all the Putin appearances. Putin approves of his performances and pronouncements.
True.
Has anyone else noticed the American left loved the USSR up until 1991 when it tossed communism for Christianity?
“May it be Moe”
I think an interview would be a good idea. Always good to know what the other side has to say.
This might give some GOPe and RATs a queasy stomach.
Russia has also outlawed promotion of the homosexual agenda.
That enrages the liberals of course.
The US hates Russia because, among other things, it deigns to act independently of the western cabal of oligarchs, who deem themselves gods.
So Tucker is close enough.
US Ambassador to Hungary, was a purposeful slap-in-the-face to conservatives and to Hungary, and he continues to be so.
He is as deep-state and “globohomo” as they come. He a “married” homosexual with “two sons.” He was an aid to Madeline Albright and Wesley Clark. Then worked at the Southern Poverty Law Center for two years. Was a partner at the Clinton’s law-firm Boise Schiller & Flexner.
Since going to Hungary he has been at war with Orban and Hungarian conversatives. Helped direct his old boss Samantha Power and USAID to spend $300 million on “democracy initiatives” in Hungary ie) color revolution.
Hungary should kick his ass out of the country.
This is pretty hypocritical coming a doofus that often sounds like a tent revival preacher that uses the oft-repeated canned phrase "Let it be so!"
Primate of Russian Orthodox Church celebrates Liturgy at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow on Sunday of Orthodoxy
Orthodox celebration gathers crowds of people around the country's main church - Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Savior.
Anyone who says "russia isn’t Christian by any real definition" is a lying jackass.
Yes, but giving a platform to any opinions that counter our oligarchs' official narrative is a treasonable offense.
If Trump can be prosecuted for opining that his election was stolen, Tucker can be prosecuted for amplifying Putin.
They support (de·fen·es·tra·tion
/dēˌfenəˈstrāSHən/) in Russia right?
I think you worship your Dear Leader Biden over God.
I assume some Tucker fans also like Zelensky.
