"SNIP......

Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) tweeted that people have called his office telling him the U.S. should be “siding with Russia” instead of Ukraine as tensions escalate between the two countries.

Said Malinowski: “My office is now getting calls from folks who say they watch Tucker Carlson and are upset that we’re not siding with Russia in its threats to invade Ukraine, and

......SNIP"

Someone needs to show these idiots what the median income for people in Russia is vs. the USA.

[underpants]

1. These people are so programmed that they forgot about the Cold War

His viewers, like me, grew up with the Soviets as the ultimate bad guys but now they side with whatever Douchenozzle says.

[olegramps]

23. Not surprising for the Fascist Nazi Tucker to back Putin.

[FSogol]

2. Is Tucker starting the Russian-American Bund?

[TheBlackAdder]

40. Seems like it. Nicole Wallace has something to say about it.

.

"There’s a reason they play him every night on Russian state TV," said MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on her Tuesday show about Fox host Tucker Carlson.

The comments came after Carlson's latest rant in support of Russia and Vladimir Putin appeared on Russian state television in which he just asked "questions" about why siding with Russia in its dispute with Ukraine was wrong.

"Why is it disloyal to side with Russia but loyal to side with Ukraine?" Carlson asked. "They're both foreign countries that don't care anything about the United States. Kind of strange."

3. Agitprop straight from Russia, vomited forth by Ricky Hitler. National security issue yet? (Nt)

[BlueIdaho]

4. Someone needs to put these idiots in a gulag.

Russia is still a miserable place for anyone to live.

[lame54]

6. Very few black people or...

Afro-Russians in Russia

[TreasonousBastard]

5. Somebody need to show thesr assholes what a right hook...

can do.

And remind them why Soviets and Russia and us have had kinda friendly relations but never been friends.

[Kaleva]

7. Thankfully, only about 3% of the adult population watches Tucker on any given night

Rep. Tom Malinowski doesn't say how many calls he got from people who watch Tucker.

[Crowman2009]

28. I roll my eyes at the BS of "The No. 1 news show on cable"

When the broadcast evening news shows have exponentially higher ratings.

[Kaleva]

32. People never mention that Fox News gets crushed in the ratings by CBS News, ABC News & NBC News

[monkeyman1]

44. Tuck'ms is paying them to stay on the air !! he has a trust fund !!

[sop]

8. Tucker Carlson has a lot in common with Father Charles Coughlin.

Nazi-sympathizing radio priest Father Charles Coughlin spewed lies, violent rhetoric and anti-semitism in the 1930s, just like Tucker does today.

[DBoon]

14. and it took declared war with Nazi Germany to get him off the airwaves

[DBoon]

15. and it took declared war with Nazi Germany to get him off the airwaves

[olegramps]

25. It is not surprising that the Catholic Church didn't silence him. They are authoritarian to the bone

When Hitler entered Austria the Cathedral Bells throughout the country welcomed him. The top prelates of the Catholic Church dressed in their costumes gladly posed with Hitler for pictures to show their support.

[Turbineguy]

9. So.....

is the Tuckster on the Kremlin payroll or a useful idiot?

[BlueWavePsych]

10. Might as well move Washington to Moscow ...

[Wuddles440]

13. Bet these two Merica hating cretins...

participated in the attempted coup on January 6th! A prime example of Putin's finest.

[Tribetime]

20. The 2 branze total 50 IQ

[Mr.Bill]

11. And if Russia successfully invaded Ukraine

they will scream that we just stood by and let Russia take it.

[Eyeball_Kid]

38. Remember the time when Jesse Jackson...

... was a presidential candidate and got accused of violating the Logan act when he visited a foreign country during campaign season?

He never was charged, but folks had their guard up.

This time around, Carlson seems to have free rein over interfering with foreign policy. For right now. I suspect that someone in a higher pay grade is going to pay Carlson a visit for a little chat.

[Mr.Bill]

39. They blame any Democrat for that

if they visit any foreign country and speak to anyone in authority.

[Progress4ever]

12. Seriously

Who cares what that douche bag thinks?

[captain queeg]

16. In their pathetic minds they remember Col Vindamen

Testifying against their god-king, and he supported the Ukraine so obviously they are the bad guys. You’ve got a 5 time draft dodger criticizing a career military man and sucking up to Putin, and pretending his is patriotic. It really is pathetic.

If they had just announced an investigation of Biden like he asked they wouldn’t be in this position.

[applegrove]

17. Don't forget Russia is all over the internet promoting themselves and

Fanning the culture wars. They were antivaxxers on the internet that convinced many Americans to not get inoculated. Of course they are online to troll democracy and promote authoritarianism amongst the right.

[monkeyman1]

35. Republican's finest!!!

[roamer65]

18. Espionage Act of 1917.

Use it to take him off the air.

[AngryOldDem]

19. Fox News is lulling its sheeple into wanting authoritarian rule.

It is just as big a problem as Trump, the 1/6 seditionists, and the GOP as a whole. Fox is the available mouthpiece that can make the unthinkable seem like the Garden of Eden for their uneducated masses.

Truly, I’m losing hope by the day. I just came from the grocery, where the shelves were even more bare than the last time I was there. I wondered to myself how long it will be before these supply chain issues and shortages are politicized and weaponized to further destabilize us and make it easier to be taken over. It’s happened before elsewhere. We’ve just always thought we were immune. Now Fox can spread that kind of message far and wide and people will lap it up with a wooden spoon.

But I digress. Fox News is just a metasticized cancer.

[fwvinson]

22. If a war starts, the first things taken out are communication centers.

The Russian communication center is Fox News. It should be the first place taken out.

[KS Toronado]

30. Hell yes, take them out if they side with Russia after invading Ukraine.

Could Biden shut them down with an Executive Order or using something like "The war powers act"?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. Tucker loves him some Pooty?

[underpants]

24. Fox has loved Putin since Obama was in office

Putin strong. Putin manly. They tempered that down when Clustertrump was in office.

[Kid Berwyn]

26. What's it called when one sides with the enemy?

Tucker Carlson, traitor.

[Crowman2009]

27. Tucker Carlson is the new Lord Haw-Haw.

I propose we send ole' Tucker to Ft. Leavenworth if things escalate.

[Johonny]

29. Is FOX news essentially paid Russian propaganda at this point?

Why is this on my cable bill?

[monkeyman1]

36. if everybody dropped cable because of fox , look what their bottom line would be ?

[KS Toronado]

31. If Tucker is supporting Russia over Ukraine on his show

Next thing we'll see is him supporting Russia when they threaten to invade the United States.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. He wants oligarch power and total domination over anything non-white.

[Eyeball_Kid]

37. Come on, folks! Look at the news release.

I read this yesterday or early this morning. There's a way to understand it that makes sense.

First, this is no journalism story. This is a rumor. A Congressperson is getting calls about siding with Russia. How many calls? Who called? What exactly was said among all of the callers? Was it a concerted effort to provoke Malinowski to speak to the press? This isn't a survey or poll. It's an unverified report from one person, and the report is vague and nonspecific.

But, Ooo, it's FOREBODING!

Because it's a media hotpoint, it will be treated as a fact that Carlson is commandeering an army of pro-Russia barbarians who want Ukraines killed, with the remaining survivors subjected to persecution and minority status. And that's if there isn't major opposition, (and there will be) which will mean... more killing.

What it also means is that folks in executive positions will have to get the message across that Carlson's got to stop this nonsense whether he has a bloodthirsty following or not. It's getting too obvious that he can "interfere" with foreign policy and likely is. Someone will have to pay him a visit.

[SWBTATTReg]

41. Last I heard, TC wasn't president of the US.

[mushroomhunter]

43. not yet

Just a TV personality.....but wait

[louis-t]

42. Because they've been taught that Putin is a "badass".

They like him. I've heard it from several RWNJs.

[smb]

45. Does Tuckyo Rose Get To Count His Russian Viewers Toward His Ratings? nt
