Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” that Tucker Carlson is a “useful idiot” to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Wagner said, “Tucker Carlson is currently meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, making him the first American journalist to interview President Putin since the beginning of the Ukraine war.”Tucker Carlson and the Right Wing What don’t you know about the media and Vladimir Putin?”
Mr. Clinton said: He’s what you might call a useful idiot. I mean, if you actually read the translation of what’s being said in the Russian media, they’re making fun of him. I mean, he’s like a puppy. Somehow I wouldn’t be surprised if he signs a deal with Russian media after being fired by many media outlets and the US. Because he’s a useful fool. ”
She added, “He’s saying things that aren’t true. He’s parroting Vladimir Putin’s series of lies about Ukraine. So I don’t understand why Putin won’t let him do interviews. “Because through President Putin he can continue to lie about his objectives in Ukraine and what he expects to happen.”
