    The only way this might be worth Zelenskyy‘s time is if he silently beats Carlson to a bloody pulp.

    The man has REAL problems to deal with. He doesn’t need to be “interviewed” by some fascist bootlicker.

    I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Tucker Carlson is a traitor and a Russian asset.

            His history is really interesting. He wasn’t always a raging republican. He realized it worked and got views though, so here we are. I’d highly reccommend watching Some More News’ video on the guy, it’s interesting and kinda funny in all of the depressing ways.

              I have this Mandela-effect thing where I am certain I remember him being on The Daily Show ages ago, and not as a raging republican. At one point I thought I might have him confused with Mo Rocca. In any case, I have found no evidence that he was, I think I have just badly misremembered.

                Is it possible you’re thinking of that time Jon Stewart was on Tucker Carlson’s show, rather than vice versa?

                  No that’s way WAY too recent. I’m talking 90s or very early 00s.

                  To be clear, I have made peace with the fact that this is a false memory, but it persists nonetheless. 😀
