Tucker Carlson responsible for ‘demonization’ of Ukraine, Mitch McConnell says
NY Post ^ | April 23, 2024 | Victor Nava

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday blamed Tucker Carlson for turning some Republicans against the idea of providing military aid for Ukraine by demonizing the war-torn country.

The top Republican in the Senate argued that Carlson’s outspoken stance against US support for Ukraine was one of the primary reasons why approving more than $60 billion in emergency spending for the former Soviet state took so long to achieve.

“I think the demonization of Ukraine began by Tucker Carlson, who in my opinion ended up where he should have been all along, which was interviewing Vladimir Putin,” McConnell said during a press conference

Tucker was on board when the war in Ukraine first started. As it dragged on and more and more facts came out, he began to see the light. I guess Mitch doesn’t want Americans to think for themselves.

Tucker lives rent free in his head.

Was Mitch waving a tiny Ukrainian flag at the press conference?

Actually, Biden and an international bunch of crooks including one idiotic Ukrainian-American named Vindman did all that damage to Ukraine while trting to take out Trump using lawfare and a ridiculous smear.

I sometimes wonder how many Zeepers have Ukraine flags flying outside their home. According to the recent Congressional display, it’s the patriotic thing to do.

Many people have Ukraine flags flying outside their houses.

I don’t happen to be one of them.

McConnell is undoubtedly correct about the role of Tucker Carlson.

However, he went on to criticize Trump, so Mitch remains on my S list.

Mitch, Mitch Mitch. It sucks when someone has the nerve to expose your slush fund. Tucker is not perfect, but he was over the target on you bastards wanting to fund endless war run by a corrupt regime.

Was it really too much to ask that if we are footing the bill, we get so see where the money is going and demand that it go to the purpose for which we were seeing it?

Of course it was, Mitch. Because you just want to send endless money without anyone seeing your kickback.

“Ukraine” isn’t being “demonized”.

It’s just a terrible policy choice on so many fronts to do what we are doing, and opposing US policy is in our people’s interest.

Are the good people of Kentucky ever going to get rid of this guy? Hard to believe he comes from the same state that brought us Massie and Paul.

The old closet homo.
Nevermind the Azov using 2nd SS emblems. Nevermind them naming a militia after Oscar Dirlewanger. Nevermind naming street and building monuments to Bandera and other Uke Nazis. Nevermind the torchlight parades. Nevermind shelling the Donbass for 8 years for the crime of not saluting and following the Kiev coup. Nevermind making the Russian language illegal and burning books from 18th century Russian authors. Nevermind that filthy country getting Trump impeached and bribing half of DC.

No... it was all Tucker.

I'd say every politician in Washington going back to George Bush I who voted to use an unlimited pile of taxpayer money to fund these stupid wars and the foreign/corporate welfare that goes along with them -- while this country slides even further into the toilet -- is to blame for the "demonization" of Ukraine.

This corrupt, duplicitous @sshole can look at himself if he wants to see one of the worst offenders.

Knuckleheads like Turdle act as though we can’t think for ourselves and that we need Tucker to think for us.

I happen to like Tucker and agree with him much of the time. I rather think of it as I am actually getting Tucker to come around to my way of thinking:)
