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

There are no friends, only interests.
“Maybe if Ukraine were a Democracy and actually held elections....”
SHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh Be very very quiet.
oh no not this creep again
go home you dumb turtle
This is so stupid. Few Americans are “demonizing” Ukraine. Lots are “demonizing” Russia and have been doing so since it became politically expedient in 2016 to falsely link Trump to Russia.
Saying that Ukraine is no fount of democratic freedom and wisdom is not demonizing Ukraine. Nor is saying that America should not be going to war for Ukraine.
As it stands now, Russia seems a big nasty bully and I’m glad they aren’t our next door neighbor. It would suck to be near Russia. Poor Poland and Ukraine — between Russia and Germany.
Does that mean I think going to war with Russia is a good idea? Our leaders should think. Not indulge in cheap rhetoric.
I love Tucker, but I was disappointed when he seemingly sided with the network regarding the Bucha massacre and the Russians taking over the nuclear reactor during the first few weeks of the war. He could have been more even handed in his coverage, hut he seemed to push the globalist agenda that Ukraine was the victim. A few weeks later he was asking questions, like most ppl with critical thinking skills. I’m not trying to gaslight any one, FFS.
McConnell conflated “demonizing” with “demonetizing”. They’re not the same thing.
Well said.
Yeah, “Disinformation” abounds....
Exactly which drugs is Ditch taking?
EXCELLENT!!!!!
“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.”
In the past 100 years, with one exception (WW2) the Republicans have supported EVERY WAR that the Democrats have started, with Ukraine (and soon Taiwan) only being the latest. It just seems to be in their blood, and NONE of the Republicans, whether in Congress or on this site, seem the least bit upset with the Democrats trying to send Trump to JAIL, they just want to support yet another Democrat War.
On the other hand, other than some short-term lip service, I’m hard-pressed to think of any wars that the Democrats ever supported the Republicans on - we just seem to IGNORE that behavior.
Many were excluded from the Afghanistan laundry machine so they closed it down and created the Ukrainian one
Worse than that, he is a traitor.
No. That petty, money-grubbing little dictator Zelensky is responsible.
Tucker has had plenty to say about that particular brain-dead RINO as well.
I think Tucker has done a great job since being booted from Fox. Don’t always agree with him, but am glad he’s around to ask the questions the lamestream media won’t.
Me either, though if I did I'd hope they'd have a republican form of government instead of the evil of democracy.
