Tucker Carlson, tootin' Putin again

Tucker Carlson claims Ukraine's democratically-elected president is a dictator and again asks why the US isn't on Russia's side

The Fox News host Tucker Carlson called Ukraine's democratically-elected president Volodymyr Zelensky a dictator, and again questioned why the US isn't on Russia's side.

On his Monday show, Carlson claimed Democrats in the US were wrongly framing the Russia-Ukraine military crisis as good-versus-evil story because, he claimed, Ukraine was not a democracy.

Carlson has previously sought to directly compare Russia to Ukraine despite their different political systems — Russia is an authoritarian regime while Ukraine is considered a democracy.

"It's run by a dictator who's friends with everyone in Washington," Carlson said of Ukraine, before attacking GOP Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for defending Kyiv. (Kinzinger and Cheney are not the only Republicans who have expressed support for Ukraine, but many conservatives have singled out the duo for taking part in the House committee investigating the Capitol riot.)

I can't imagine why else the party of Ronald Reagan is so incredibly and so unpatriotically pro-Russia.

There's a reason the DNC's emails were made public and not the RNC's.
