Two and a half years ago Donald Trump was impeached – the first time – for having unlawfully attempted to extort Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/a><\/strong> and coerce him into trying to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. From that day forward Fox News has sought to malign and undermine Ukraine, even as they have been subjected to the genocidal aggression of Vladimir Putin’s increasingly imperialistic Russia.<\/p>\n

Leading the Fox News attack on Ukraine has been their Senior Putin Apologist, Tucker Carlson. He has been a relentlessly reverential spokesperson for Putin’s aspirations of world domination. Carlson and his Fox colleagues, have so closely aligned the network with Russian interests that it is essentially serving as the U.S. bureau of the Kremlin\u2019s Ministry of Disinformation.<\/p>\n

On Saturday Carlson was the keynote speaker at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa. The conference is sponsored by an organization founded by radical right-wing evangelist, James Dobson, with a mission to “inspire Christ-like leadership in the home, in the church, and in government.”<\/em> So naturally, the event featured the hypocrisy and blasphemy that is emblematic of Trumpism.<\/p>\n

Carlson was an inspired choice for keynote speaker, and his audience surely wasn’t disappointed by his rancid rhetoric. Intent on fomenting division and political animus, Carlson made a point of lambasting Democrats with deliberately dishonest characterizations. For instance, Carlson lied that it’s “absolutely true”<\/em> that Democrats…<\/p>\n

\u201c…are promoting the idea that your family is worthless compared to loyalty to your employer and a political party. That is the sickest message I can possibly imagine. Totalitarian message, by the way. They don’t want the competition.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of the most seductive manipulations Fox does 24\/7 is paint a picture to their audience of the Democratic Party that bears no resemblance to reality: \u201cThey\u2019re promoting the idea that your family is worthless compared to loyalty to your employer and a political party.\u201d pic.twitter.com\/OrS8Y14cNW<\/a><\/p>\n
