McConnell blasts Tuckems for demonizing Ukraine aid
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) blasted conservative commentator Tucker Carlson on Tuesday for playing a leading role in demonizing the idea of sending military aid to Ukraine, saying the former Fox News host wound up “where he should have been all along” when he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a megaphone during a fawning interview earlier this year.
“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which was interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell said, referring to Carlson’s two-hour interview with Putin in February, which drew widespread criticism for not challenging Putin’s dubious claims and declarations.
“He convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake,” he said.
Putin dominated most of the interview with Carlson, hardly giving him a chance to ask questions as he rambled about Russian history, the breakup of the Soviet Union and the threat of Soviet expansion.
