The resulting discussion could not have been more or a PR coup for Putin if it had been scripted by a Kremlin press agent. Which it very well might have been. Carlson never challenged Putin\u2019s blatant lies and self-serving distortions of reality. But then why would anyone expect him to? Carlson has literally bragged about his support for Russia over America, saying <em>\u201cWhy shouldn\u2019t I root for Russia, because I am.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60048\">Tucker Carlson Snuggles Up to His Master, Vladimir Putin, in a Humiliating Parade of Propaganda<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson followed up his Putin-fluffing interview with a VIP tour of Moscow&#8217;s glorious grocery stores and subway stations. He gushed with wide-eyed praise for them as being far superior to anything in the U.S. That led to another brutal smackdown by Stewart who mocked Carlson as the sort of <em>&#8220;useful idiot&#8221;<\/em> that Russia relies on to advance their propaganda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60232\">Jon Stewart Mercilessly Shreds Tucker Carlson\u2019s Vile Veneration of Vladimir Putin and Russia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>So naturally, Carlson decided to fight back this week, defending himself as a patriot, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/media\/4493977-tucker-carlson-jon-stewart-russia-putin\/\">saying<\/a><\/strong> that <em>&#8220;I\u2019m an American. I\u2019m like a decent person. I just want to be able to walk to the grocery store without being murdered.&#8221;<\/em> Which he apparently thinks Americans can&#8217;t do. And he might want to ask all the dead or imprisoned Russians about the risks of being a Putin critic.<\/p>\n<p>But Carlson was just getting started. He then lashed out at Stewart, saying that he was <em>&#8220;trying to prepare the population for accepting a lot less. He is really a tool of the regime in a sinister way, always has been.&#8221;<\/em> Of course, the <em>&#8220;regime&#8221;<\/em> that Carlson is talking about is American democracy, not the Russian dictatorship that Carlson is such an obvious tool of.<\/p>\n<p>To the contrary, in his role as a political satirist Stewart has been a constant critic of government and its enablers. He has never sucked up to the powerful the way that Carlson does to Putin. What Carlson is really whining about is that Stewart criticized him. And like Trump, and other malignant narcissists, Carlson could not abide that. Which led to another ridiculous stab at defending himself and pretending that he doesn&#8217;t worship Putin&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The idea that I would be flacking for Putin when my relatives fought in the Revolutionary War&#8230;Like, I\u2019m as American as you could be. It&#8217;s like crazy to me.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker says it ridiculous that people call him a shill for Putin and a traitor because \u201cmy relatives fought in the Revolutionary War.

Secondly, Carlson doesn&#8217;t say which side his relatives were allegedly fighting for. And given his predisposition toward monarchical tyranny, they may very well have been fighting for the British.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the idea that Carlson is a flack for Putin is anything but crazy. It&#8217;s been proven by his own words and behavior for years. And even worse, the Republican Party, following Trump&#8217;s lead, has also succumbed to the will of Putin and Russia. The MAGA right-wing today is firmly in Putin&#8217;s camp.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60232\">Jon Stewart Mercilessly Shreds Tucker Carlson\u2019s Vile Veneration of Vladimir Putin and Russia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=60164\">Putin Puppet Tucker Carlson a Few Days Before the Navalny Murder: \u2018Every Leader Kills People\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=59972\">Tucker Carlson Explains Why He\u2019s in Moscow Sucking Up to His BFF Vladimir Putin<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@newscorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Threads<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bitter feud that has long been simmering between Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, and fetid fish stick heir, Tucker Carlson, is heating up in the wake of Carlson&#8217;s latest bootlicking &#8220;interview&#8221; of Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin.
