Reagan Administration Official Suggests Carlson Should Be Denied Entry into US
Carlson's interview with Putin has taken place and will likely air on Thursday afternoon
Bill Kristol, who served as the chief of staff to Vice President George Bush during the Reagan presidency, has suggested that Tucker Carlson be denied entry into the country until the U.S. government officials have debriefed him. He was also branded a “traitor.”
We have always known that Carlson was a traitor — nothing new to see here, folks. Banning him from re-entry, however, does make sense. Vladimir Putin is not our friend. He is our enemy. Along with some of the other drunks from the Kremlin, namely Dimochka Medvedev, Putin has threatened the U.S. and the West with nuclear annihilation for what it calls “interference” in Ukraine. We are stopping him and the Russian army from committing genocide, and somehow, we are interfering — a case of semantics if there ever was one.
Speaking to GB News, Kristol said: “Perhaps we need a total and complete shutdown of Tucker Carlson re-entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.”
Former GOP Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger joined in the criticism, branding Carlson a “traitor (Tucker Carlson Branded Traitor).”
Carlson recently said that it was unfair that most people in the West had never heard Putin’s reasons for starting the war. The purpose of the interview was to allow Putin to explain his actions, clear the air of the West’s one-sided view of Putin being a monster, and let Americans decide Putin for themselves. The Kremlin liked Carlson’s approach to the interview, which is why it chose him.
Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters that Carlson was chosen for the interview because “he has a position which differs” from other English-language media.
Vladimir Solovyev, one of Russia’s most famous television hosts, said the interview would “break through the blockade and the narrative that exists” in Western media which, he said, focuses on “Putin’s unprovoked, brutal invasion of Ukraine.”
Solovyev, whose show is often critical of Western media, said Carlson is “feared” because he does not align with that narrative (Tucker Carlson Has Interviewed Putin).
Many in Russia genuinely think the interview will be a great epiphany for millions of Americans, helping them see the truth about the war. It reminds me of the way Hitler and many around him regarded the death of Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1945. Hitler was convinced that “providence” had intervened by taking out the great American president, thus throwing the American war effort into chaos. Desperate and grasping for straws, many in the Kremlin are reacting the same way.
Millions in the West won’t suddenly wake up to support Putin, but there is definitely the likelihood that Carlson was chosen because he is so good at looking millions of Americans straight in the eyes and lying through his teeth. Carlson shamelessly told his Foxified viewers on air that Trump had been cheated out of the presidency, but off air, he was calling Trump a lunatic, liar, and a loser.
Carlson is a master storyteller. He can turn any lie into a truth, and the Kremlin has wisely chosen him to spread its lies and propaganda. Where Russia Today and other Kremlin-controlled media are blocked from reaching Western audiences, now the platform owned by the fascist lunatic Elon Musk will be used to permit Carlson to spread the devil’s lies.
Tucker Carlson is not a U.S. journalist but a Russian agent and must be treated as such.
