What do you think of the argument that it may have been used to help? ”
Crenshaw raised and shot back Carlson's visit to Russia.
“Tucker doesn't know what he's talking about. Tucker likes to visit Moscow and talks about how great the grocery store is, so I don't take his advice very seriously.” He insisted.

“I laughed at that,” the British journalist wrote to X. “He said: “I'll kill him.”
