Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.
Carlson was spotted in Moscow in the audience at the world-famous Bolshoi Theater, according to Russian Telegram channel Mash.
The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.
The Georgia Rep. added: “They HATE when someone like Tucker goes ‘off script.’ We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!”
“Russian Asset Defends Russian Asset”
Far OUT!
I know the McCarthy witch hunts were fucking outrageous, but this guy’s alleged political lineage basically descends from those guys. They’ll be rotating in their grave so fast I’ll bet the soil is becoming glass as we speak.
Mind you, Putin isn’t a communist. He’s just a shitcunt autocratic stain on humanity.
But still…
Welp, I guess it shows pretty clearly that Carlson etc are really not actually interested in anything other than getting paid. Democracy etc is for the rubes and poor people apparently.
Always has been I guess.
Long live democracy.
Republicans had no problem putting right wing totalitarian governments into power back in the day, so they’d gladly support modern Russia as well.
Every single politician should audited until they squeal for the entire time they serve, and for 20 years after.
quietly withdraws application to serve
If you’ve nothing to hide, you’ve nothing to fear.
I mean, how hard is it to just be honest with finances, taxes and not offshore stuff?
Russia was never communist. China isn’t either. McCarthyism was never about facts. Mostly feelings. Almost completely irrational fear.
Yes, of course. I understand that. But many don’t and never will even if you give them a 45 minute lecture on it.
Edit: you know I just had an idea. What if people started making truthful videos in the style of conspiracy videos. The whackos might start soaking up facts instead.
They don’t believe things because they are conspiracy. They aren’t seeking any sort of truth. They want to believe what they want to believe. And since they can’t support their beliefs factually. They rely on conspiracy theories.
Case in point my previous 100% factual and uncontroversial statement is already -2 or -3. That all these Communist parties were never communist. Or consider that Republicans in the 1930s plotted a fascist overthrow of FDR. It would be the sort of true conspiracies you’re talking about. But they reject them because it goes against the narrative they’ve been indoctrinated with.
In their world Republicans are the good guys, and commies are commies. And anything you present that deviates from that will be rejected no matter how you frame it. Or how factual it is.
I wish it worked like you speculated though. Because it would be a way to reach them. But Like I said before. They aren’t in search of a conclusion. They’re starting with a conclusion in searching for anything that could lead them to their desired conclusion.
Sort of, yeah. the TL;DR is cults gonna cult.
People who are poorly educated (or just plain dumb) love magical thinking.
Hence the destruction of the education system.
Critical thinking is essential for a modern society. Plus wiping out the shits who are profiting from the lying rightwing media ecosystem.
Fun fact MaCarthyism was helped along by Roy Cohen, Trump’s same Roy.
its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!
If ever you needed proof that she lives in a completely different world where objective reality doesn’t matter, that’s it.
Perjury Traitor Greene: says batshit thing, gets in the press again
Perjury Traitor Greene: Yessssssss!
Why is this news? I mean, “Russian asset defends Russian asset” is pretty much expected. It’s the equivalent of a news article saying that a rock in the middle of a field absorbed heat from the sun.
Not only is it not news, it’s so commonplace that it defies any reason to print.
Tucker is interviewing Putin to get more and improved pointers for Republican’s second upcoming coup attempt. Voter suppression was not enough. Now the GOP wants to have the state decide elections.
Maybe he’ll accidentally fall out of a window while he’s in Russia…
Why would he? He still regurgitates Kremlin propaganda at every turn, and people still listen to him. He’s still useful; what reason would a totally accidental trip to Russia be?
Assholes celebrating traitors who interview terrorists.
How I imagine the interview to sound
Tucker: my research suggests that you have a 12" cocktail
Putin: is actually 14
Tucker…
Putin: I take no further questions (takes off mike, exits stage left)
I’d prefer he exit via a swan drive into the orchestra pit rather than stage left
I’d prefer he exit via ~a swan drive~ being thrown into ~the orchestra~ an alligator pit rather than stage left.
Ftfy
Freedom of the press for the guy who has opponents and critics literally thrown out of buildings… Sounds great Greene
Leaked Kremlin memos from years ago instructed RT to air “as many Carlson clips as possible.” So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised.
Why in the actual fuck has she not been even interviewed by the feds about her placing “devices” on the night before January 6th?
The walk, the mannerisms… I’d put money down that it was her. Yet she is still walking free and talking shit about the people who should be taking her in for questioning about it, at very least.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.
The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.
Carlson, who has defended Putin and echoed Kremlin talking points, said last year that he had previously tried to interview the Russian leader but that the US government had stopped him.
Leaked memos from the Kremlin to Russian state media in the week after the invasion instructed them to use “as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson.”
Representatives for Carlson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
