McConnell blasts Tucker Carlson for demonizing Ukraine aid
The Hill ^ | 04/23/24 4:01 PM ET | BY ALEXANDER BOLTON

Posted on 04/23/2024 9:38:23 PM PDT by RandFan

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) blasted conservative commentator Tucker Carlson on Tuesday for playing a leading role in demonizing the idea of sending military aid to Ukraine, saying the former Fox News host wound up “where he should have been all along” when he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin a megaphone during a fawning interview earlier this year.

“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, referring to Carlson’s two-hour interview with Putin in February, which drew widespread criticism for not challenging Putin’s dubious claims and declarations.

“He convinced a lot of rank-and-file Republicans that maybe this was a mistake,” he said.

How does it feel watching Russia boot the hand-flapping French out of Africa? Is it kinda like watching Hitler stroll around gay Paris?

Good clip. It sums up Zelensky and the Ukraine as the greasy grifter they are.

The cut and paste Queen of FR is a broken record. You need to find some new material. Better tell your Ukie hackers to stop diddling with themselves, and get working to find you some fresh ones.

What are your thoughts on Russia taking away all of France's African colonies as part of the overall conflict with the West?
Burkina Faso - gone.
Mali - gone.
Central African Republic - gone.
Niger - gone.

Does it give you the sads?

I agree with dforest. You are a Bidenista Uniparty shill. You are a plant, a stooge, a false front.

I really like the zed. How very European. The writer overlooked that when the Russians entered the conflict for the glorious liberation of DPR and LPR, they put the letter Z on all their military vehicles. In response, the comic actor banned the letter Z from the alphabet and became just the Elensky.

"In a world of Putins be a Zelensky?" Are you serious?

No, I don't think any conservative, especially a straight, Christian one, wants to be a fruitcake who writhes and gyrates with other "men" in a rough trade leather outfit like a San Francisco bath house dweller.

No, I don't think such folks want to be someone who runs around naked in stores with other naked men in front of children.

No, I don't think traditional Americans want to be like a B-grade, coke-sniffing actor who pretends to play the piano with his penis.

No conservative American would want to be someone who parades around in fake military garb (like the actor Zelenskyyyy does) in order to glom money from American taxpayers and redistribute it to corruptocrats in his country and in the West.

No conservative would want to be a grifting con artist whose "beard" flits around Paris, spending tens of thousands of dollars on Christmas gifts while her fellow countrymen suffer and die.

No Christian conservative would offer an ambassadorship to Marina Abramovic, a vile satanist "artist" and a darling of Hillary Clinton and the vile, pedo Podesta brothers.

No conservative, especially a God-fearing one who believes in tradtional American values, would even for a second want to be a LGBT-advocating, globalist puppet who cancels his country's elections, persecutes his political enemies, persecutes Christians and presides over a hyper-corrupt country notorious for child trafficking gangs, foreign biolabs, neo-Nazi militias and a wholly corrupt government.

No conservative, Christian American would have as their spokesperson a hissing, seething, psychopathic tranny who calls for the hunting down and killing of those who oppose the vile Zelenskyyy™ junta.

So, why do you, a self-proclaimed UMC Christian minister, want people to be scumbags and sociopaths like Zelenskyyyy™?

Please explain why you spend enormous amounts of time propagandizing and cheerleading for such a vile, fraudulent "man" and, by proxy, for the anti-Christian, leftist, globalist, anti-US, anti-West ideologues, RINOs and NGOs who support him when the vast majority of American conservatives do not?

BTW, is this, my latest comment to you, going in the "dossier" you profess to keeping on me and on others who oppose your propagandistic nonsense and divisive machinations?

gayboy

All the questions about Zelensky and this performative Christian poster can be answered by her silence on the appointment of Marina Abramović

Ukrainian President **Volodymyr Zelensky** has reached out to the renowned Serbian performance artist, **Marina Abramović**, inviting her to serve as an ambassador for Ukraine. Ms. Abramović, a fierce critic of **Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion**, has been asked to assist in **rebuilding schools** in Ukraine¹[4]. Her involvement comes at a crucial time as Ukraine continues to grapple with the impact of the ongoing conflict.

Marina Abramović, known for her provocative and boundary-pushing art, is currently holding her first solo exhibition in the UK. As the first female artist to have a major show in the Main Galleries of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, she has made significant contributions to the art world. Visitors to her exhibition must navigate between two nude models to enter the show, a unique experience that has drawn attention¹[4].

The 76-year-old artist has a history of supporting Ukraine in its struggle against Russia. She expressed her commitment to the cause, stating, "I was the first artist to support the Ukraine war against Russia and to give my voice. It is definitely a repetition of history" ¹[4]. Her dedication to humanitarian efforts, particularly in the context of rebuilding schools, aligns with Zelensky's vision for Ukraine's future.

Marina Abramović's involvement as an ambassador underscores the importance of cultural figures using their influence to address global challenges. Her unique perspective and commitment to peace and education make her a valuable advocate for Ukraine during these challenging times. Zelensky's decision to tap her for this role reflects the recognition of art's power to transcend borders and promote positive change²[6].

Additionally, it's worth noting that Ukrainian President Zelensky has also engaged with other influential figures, including Russian billionaire **Roman Abramovich**. While Abramovich's role as a broker in talks between Ukraine and Russia remains somewhat unclear, he has offered assistance to de-escalate Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, Abramovich himself faced a health scare earlier this year when he experienced symptoms of suspected poisoning during peace talks on the Ukraine-Belarus border. Fortunately, he has since recovered and continues to engage in negotiations to end the war in Ukraine³[5].

In summary, both Marina Abramović and Roman Abramovich have played significant roles in the context of Ukraine's conflict, each contributing in their own way to the pursuit of peace and stability in the region. Their involvement highlights the intersection of art, diplomacy, and humanitarian efforts in addressing complex geopolitical challenges.¹[4] ³[5] ²[6]

Sicko zeepers call this ‘comedy’.
Playing the piano with his little wanker.... ‘comedy’.
Running naked through a grocery store...’comedy ‘.
There are quite a few perverts around here.
