Fox News host Tucker Carlson explored some of the double standards erected by Democrats and the corporate media for controversial public figures such as Volodymyr Zelemsky, janet Yellen, and Sam Bankman-Fried on his show this week.
“We are going to start with a quiz. What do you have when you find Sam Bankman-Fried, Janet Yellen and President Zelenskyy of Ukraine all together in one room?” Carlson said. “A federal grand jury proceeding? That would be a good guess.”
“Sam Bankman-Fried seems to have committed the biggest financial fraud in history,” Carlson added. “As the chair of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen bears direct responsibility for the destruction of the entire U.S. economy. President Zelenskyy, meanwhile, sits atop a money-laundering scheme so brazen that Democrats won’t even allow it to be audited.”
“So, yes, these are three people who could badly use a federal investigation, but they’re not getting one,” Carlson said. “Instead, they’re being celebrated, held up as uniquely fascinating people by The New York Times.”
Carlson continued, “In case you missed it, today was the annual DealBook Summit. That’s a money-making event the newspaper advertises as a symposium with “top business leaders. Tickets went for $2,500 a piece. Sam Bankman-Fried, Janet Yellen and Volodymyr Zelenskyy were all there, apparently in their capacity as top business leaders.

“Some people, The New York Times has explained, have views that are so reprehensible these people are physically off limits,” Carlson said. “You cannot be in the same room with people like that.”
“So, by the way, do good liberals who stray outside the lines,” Carlson said. “Good liberals can always be forgiven, even when the things they’ve done are objectively very, very bad, like tanking the U.S. economy or stealing billions from investors and using it to buy Bahamian real estate or bringing the entire world to the brink of nuclear war and getting rich while you do it.”
“Liberals can still do these things and you can still heartily applaud them because in the end, you know their hearts are in the right place,” the Fox News host continued. “They believe the right things.”
“With that in mind, it probably is not a surprise that no one at The New York Times bothered to ask Zelenskyy today where exactly all the money has gone,” Carlson said. “No one demanded an accounting of the billions of your tax dollars that seem to have disappeared into the pockets of Ukrainian oligarchs in tracksuits because asking would have been rude.”
“He was our guest,” Carlson concluded. “So instead, The New York Times gave Zelenskyy an opportunity to demand much more of your money, which of course, he promptly took.”
Gotta wonder how many FReocons here are also on the take.
Isn’t it normal to post one sided threads, on only a single subject, 18 hours every day for 9 months?
Yeah we’re on the take on Free Republic. Okeee dokie.
Tucker has a hard on for Zelensky. He has no evidence Z is “on the take”. He ignores little things like Z leading a country devastated by war and fighting back against Russia.
Last person Tucker hated this much was Jared Kushner. Justified? Not at the level of fanatacism Tucker gets into.
The other night Tucker referred to Z as “a thug in a sweatsuit”. Really? Is that his defining characteristic in the middle of a war?
Straight from the mouth of a WEF stooge. What is the vig on $90 billion?
Tell us again how great Zelensky the grifter is.
I’m sorry but Tucker is so over the top on this subject.
He’s complaining that the NYT didn’t ask Z “where all this money has gone”.
The question of accountability is fine, but obviously money and weapons are going to this massive war with Russia. Tucker acts like he doesn’t know there is a war.
He always complains that Z asks for more money. Duh. Ukraine can’t possibly fund this war without massive Western aid. Z would be derelict if he didn’t constantly ask for aid.
The fact that Z hasn’t ratted Biden out yet, is all the evidence one needs.
Ukraine has been a DNC laundry for decades, it’s just now coming to light to the uninformed.
Zelensky is their puppet, knows all about it, yet is right there to assist. He’s as dirty as the Biden Crime Family.
ok he stayed and fought when Biden asked him to run.
And he not only defended against a superpower, but has gone on the offensive against Russia.
In a war he was expected to lose in 2 weeks.
Can’t really think of anyone else with an equal achievement.
The money was diverted before it even got to the
ok I’m glad you had fun spouting talking points and making stuff up.
Z was in office under Trump, who gave him military aid the democrats had withheld.
But why let facts stand in your way?
Was he Trump’s puppet?
Heh
You must have forgotten the fact that Trump was being roasted over Ukraine, for a legitimate phone call.
He needed info, and the best way to get it was to not rock the boat.
I don’t deal in talking points.
The money Trump sent, kept the laundry going, so as to expose itself. Chump change compared to what the real criminals are doing to us today.
Taxation is theft.
Yep. Something has to be motivating their obsessive, freaky behavior.
Trump gave Ukraine offensive military hardware.
Reality.
I received $1 million just today because I believe in resisting a Russian invasion in Europe. In crisp new ukie bills.
Last week it was $2 million.
For the next payment I’m expected to travel to Venus. Not looking forward to that.
Oh and Zelensky snores.
Screw Zelensky. Americans owe that money grubbing tool absolutely nothing. He is helping Biden break America. And you people kiss his azz. He laughs at you all the way to SBF’s bank.
