You got to interview Putin because he rightly sees you as a useful idiot who will spread his propaganda. If you actually challenged him on his illegal invasion, the war crimes and massive slaughter of civilians he ordered, he'd imprison you just like he did Evan Gershkovich.

1. Republicans are no longer hiding their desire to ally with putin and other murderous dictators

So now it's time for one of their top propagandist to sell putin to the american people.

3. The GOP wants exactly what Putin has.

Total permanent power and access to all state assets.

The GOP would turn the US into a Russian colony if they could.
We are going in that direction.

2. I think he's negotiating asylum for the Orange Traitor.

Seize his passport TODAY.

Asylum in Moscow.
Appointed ambassador to the US.
Diplomatic Immunity (any immunity in a storm)
Cries about immigrants, because that’s his GOAL.

Keep an eye on the bitcoin and dark markets.

4. Truth!

5. EXACTLY ... Putin knows Tucker to be a moronic

simpleton that he can use for propaganda. Tucker's fool enough that he's getting all puffed up thinking he's the one that's so smart. What an idiot Tucker is!

[Dorian Gray]

6. Would be funny

if someone was able to make Putin paranoid about tucker: Hey Putin. Tucker tried to join the CIA but was rejected.

But... WHAT IF... he wasn't actually rejected. WHAT IF he's deep cover CIA to get close to you and make you look like an international fool who is so desperate for attention that he'd going on a failed newsman's Twitter TV interview???? WHAT IF this is all a ploy to make you look weak and coddled in America? WHAT IF this is an attempt to make you look like you can only go on a friendly ass kissing show, and you'll be the laughing stock of a nation that knows you try too hard to be manly?

7. As if putin isnt

Paranoid enough.

8. I'm drawing a blank on a name

War correspondent that Rachel interviews, two syllable first name, two or three in last name.

Grrr. Stupid mind. I think Tucker is trying to channel him.

9. Kremlin corrects Tucker Carlson's false claim that no Western journalists tried to interview Putin

“Mr Carlson is not correct. In fact, there’s no way he could know this,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

Mr Peskov went on to say that the Kremlin receives “numerous requests” for interviews from Western media, which are all denied because the Kremlin does not deem the media outlets impartial.
...
“Does Tucker really think we journalists haven’t been trying to interview President Putin every day since his full scale invasion of Ukraine? It’s absurd — we’ll continue to ask for an interview, just as we have for years now,” said CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.

The BBC’s Russia editor, Steve Rosenberg, wrote on X: “Interesting to hear @TuckerCarlson claim that ‘no western journalist has bothered to interview’ Putin since the invasion of Ukraine. We’ve lodged several requests with the Kremlin in the last 18 months. Always a ‘no’ for us.”

Putin just won't talk to real journalists - he needs brown-nosers like Carlson.
