CNN’s Chris Wallace slammed his former Fox Information colleague Tucker Carlson for the “softball interview” he conducted with Russian President Vladimir Putin that he shared on X, previously Twitter, final week.
“Tucker Carlson confirmed up in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin. It turned out to be something however an interview,” Wallace started on Saturday. “Putin droned on for 2 hours and 7 minutes whereas Tucker sat there like an keen pet. Sometimes, however not often, he acquired in a query.”
“However extra telling than what Tucker requested is what he didn’t ask,” he continued. “Nothing about why Putin invaded a sovereign nation, nothing about concentrating on civilians, nothing about Russian warfare crimes.”
“A reporter can ask Putin a tricky query if he desires an actual interview,” Wallace argued, earlier than airing a clip from his own 2018 interview with Putin when he requested the president, “Why is it that so most of the those who oppose Vladimir Putin find yourself lifeless or near it?”
Wallace defined how through the Chilly Battle, “Gullible Westerners who unfold Soviet propaganda had been dismissed as ‘helpful idiots.’”
“However calling Tucker that’s unfair to helpful idiots,” he added. “Now he’s made a cynical determination to chase MAGA’s affection for dictators, and what higher approach to money in than Putin’s Kremlin.”
