Notorious former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has conducted an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin – the reason for his visit to Moscow – and said he has requested an interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Source: an announcement by Carlson and video message on tuckercarlson.com; Newsweek
Quote: “We’re in Moscow tonight. We’re here to interview the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin. We’ll be doing that soon.”
Details: Carlson said he had been preparing for the interview with Putin for several months.
The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).
The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.
The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.
If I were Zelensky, I’d only allow Tucker to visit if he went to a specific location, was stripped completely naked, cavity searched and then brought, blindfolded, to an undisclosed location.
And then I’d still do the interview over Zoom.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.
And none of the numbskulls who consume his hateful rhetoric will ever believe that.
It seems like they already know and that’s what they like about him.
The “interview” is just cover.
My bet is Putin is vetting Tucker Carlson for Trump’s running mate.
Once Tucker kisses the ring, and likely commits a crime (or other misdeeds) on Putin’s orders (to serve as puppet-string kompromat for Putin’s plans), Putin will give the blessing for Trump to announce Tucker Carlson as his VP running mate.
Then, just imagine a 2028 Presidential bid from Tucker (win or lose in ‘24)…
the keywest butt tickler for president ?
I dunno man, that guy is walking,talking garbage.so yeah, he’s a shoe in for this country. crap.
Stay the fuck in Russia Tucker.
Oohh Elon will allow free speech on Twitter when it benefits him
Maybe Zelenskyy can agree and put him in jail until the war is over.
Wouldn’t be the first journalist.
You need integrity and credibility to be a journalist.
I agree. Can you link anything wich would show him not having those?
His entire fox news career??
Please be more specific. Not only is it not possbile for me to go his entire fox news career. I doubt i’d find something at that scope.
I know it would probably start world war 3 but it might be worth it to just bomb Moscow. He’s that much of a tit.
Strike at Kremlin, the rest of Moscovites will be happy to help
2028 this anal wart is running for president. Mark my words.
We then will need Jon Stewart to run against him, to wipe the floor with him. Again.
Tucker Carlson is like Ted Cruz or Ron DeSantis; they can be propped up by right-wing propaganda but when it comes down to actually needing to deal with people they are so fundamentally and viscerally unlikable that they can’t win anything outside of safe Republican spaces.
Even the people who like Tucker Carlson’s shtick don’t like Tucker Carlson.
“The former TV presenter said that it would be posted on his website. **He also noted that Elon Musk had promised not to block this interview with Putin on X (Twitter).” **
Of course he will; they coordinated this together. Now I’m not claiming I have proof of this, but tell me this doesn’t smell 97% probable.
Musk just wants to end the war sob. Won’t anyone think of the
childrendictators. /s
I hope they’re meeting in a skyscraper so Tuck Tuck can get a good view of Moscow.
Republicans love Russia.
They putin a request for an interview with Zelensky.
Those jokes never get old
Inb4 Tucker Carlson dies in the next few weeks, and everyone in close contact with him suffers serious illness, all in an attempt to get at Zelenski.
Check your underwear, Carlson, that’s more of a risk to you than any window.
Useful idiot
He’s not an idiot. He knows exactly what he’s doing.
Someone can knowingly be an idiot.
He doesn’t know he’s useless though.
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.
His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican.
I have this Mandela-effect thing where I am certain I remember him being on The Daily Show ages ago, and not as a raging republican. At one point I thought I might have him confused with Mo Rocca. In any case, I have found no evidence that he was, I think I have just badly misremembered.
Is it possible you’re thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson’s show, rather than vice versa?
No that’s way WAY too recent. I’m talking 90s or very early 00s.
To be clear, I have made peace with the fact that this is a false memory, but it persists nonetheless. 😀

If you think the Tucson isn’t interviewing Putin to show his “good” side, then you don’t know the Republicans.
It would shock, but not surprise me if this interview comes out and all it’s nothing but softball questions and avoidance of the war crimes Putin is committing.
Putin wouldn’t agree to be interviewed if it were anything but that.
I’m going to be shocked if this interview is anything other than Russian propaganda.
