Fox News Phony Tucker Carlson Repudiates Tucker Carlson for Rooting for Putin"},"content":{"rendered":"

Spotting lies and hypocrisy on Fox News has never been an especially difficult task. It’s actually been a regular feature of their programming from its earliest days. And nowhere is that more apparent than on the primetime airing of the “Human Manure Spreader,”<\/em> Tucker Carlson<\/a><\/strong>. In fact, it happens with such frequency that the network argued in court (successfully) that no reasonable person would take Carlson seriously<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The only problem with the “reasonable person”<\/em> standard is that there are so many unreasonable persons watching – and appearing on – Fox News. And this was evident on Monday night’s episode when Carlson advanced his abhorrent asininity in a twenty minute tirade that sought to erase the record of his treasonous support for Russia<\/a><\/strong> over Ukraine, the United States, and our international allies.<\/p>\n

Just last week Carlson delivered a drooling televised love letter to Putin<\/a><\/strong> with all of the reasons he admired the brutal dictator, and why nobody should hate him. It’s a doctrine that mirrors identically that of Putin lover Donald Trump<\/a><\/strong>, who Carlson is also hopelessly infatuated with.<\/p>\n

Carlson began his harangue (video below)<\/em> ranting that…<\/p>\n

“On Twitter, you see Democrats pretending that their political opponents are responsible for the invasion and somehow support it. […] In this country, virtually everyone understands that the invasion of Ukraine is bad. It’s bad for us and for the world. And Vladimir Putin is bad too. So, effectively in America, those are settled facts. We can stop debating them.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That is a 180 degree turnaround from everything that Carlson has been babbling about for the past week. And for him to say now that “Putin is bad”<\/em> suggests a measure of hypocrisy that obliterates the scale. He has literally declared that he is backing Russia in this war:<\/p>\n

“Why do I care about what’s going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? And why shouldn’t I root for Russia, because I am.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As the one man echo chamber Tucker Carlson attempts to rewrite his history as a Russian apologist, let's never forget him saying "why do I care about what's going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? And why shouldn't I root for Russia, because I am". pic.twitter.com\/lwQ7WrJknM<\/a><\/p>\n
