        Carlson’s interview was the worst propaganda piece I’ve seen from the right yet. He fanboyed so hard, he didn’t even realize that he agreed with Putin’s assertion that eastern Poland belonged to Russia. Putin himself called the interview a disappointment due to Tucker’s lack of challenging questions.

        Then he goes and gushes over a “Russian” grocery store that was actually a French chain in Russia. He first jabbed at the homeless when he encountered a coin operated shopping cart. At the end, he boasted about how he easily bought groceries at such a low cost compared to the US, neglecting to realize that he spent 20% of a Russian’s monthly income on a week’s worth of food.

        It was an embarrassment.

          He realized.

          He just knows his viewers are morons.

          Tucker Carlson is not stupid. He’s malicious and servile, the Wormtongue of the right, never forget it.

      Ackchyually, he technically is. Semites, though now a defunct term, applied to any people that spoke a Semitic language.Arabs, Phoenicians, Jews, etc. It’s only after WW2 people erroneously assumed it meant just Jewish people—due to certain events at the time—and the term remained alive and evolved that way.

      So in a traditional sense, Little Ben is becoming his own Little Hitler.
