Feb 8 Hillary Calls Tucker Carlson A ‘Useful Idiot Fifth Columnist’ For Putin

(Steve Watson) Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton says that Tucker Carlson is a “useful idiot” who is being used by Vladimir Putin to “parrot a pack of lies about Ukraine.”

Clinton made the comments in an interview with MSNBC, stating that Carlson is “like a puppy dog,” and adding “He somehow has been fired from so many outlets in the United States.”

“He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin’s pack of lies about Ukraine, so I don’t see why Putin wouldn’t give him an interview,” she further declared.

“If you actually read translations of what is being said on Russian media, they make fun of him,” Clinton continued, adding “I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet, because he is a useful idiot.”

“There are people in this country right now who are like a fifth column for Vladimir Putin,” Hillary further proclaimed before yet again suggesting that Donald Trump is a Russian asset.

Carlson will likely wear Hillary’s annoyance at him as a badge of honour.

Ironically, MSNBC’s parent company NBC was one of the last networks in the US to interview Putin in 2021. That video has 16 million views on YouTube. Imagine how many more Carlson’s is going to get.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, whose platform X will host the upcoming Putin/Carlson exchange, commented on a point others have been making that there hasn’t been a single adversarial interview with Ukrainian leader Zelensky by a Western reporter.
