In October, it was revealed that Donald Trump had a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky that prompted some in his administration to blow the whistle on. Since then, US ally, the Ukraine has become more of an enemy for conservatives in and out of the White House.
There was clear evidence of anti-Ukraine sentiment this weekend when Louisiana senator John Kennedy claimed that it may have been Ukraine, rather than Russia, who meddled in the 2016 election. On Monday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took anti-Ukrainian sentiment a step further by admitting that he was rooting for Russia in its conflict against the Ukraine.
The Fox News host made the statement while interviewing Richard Goodstein, a former adviser to Bill Clinton.
Carlson asked his guest, I know Hunter Biden. I actually like Hunter Biden. But thats totally corrupt and you know it. Why is it worse to ask about it then it is to do it?
Goodstein replied by saying, Because people are actually dying on the front lines. You think this is a joke.
As Goodstein continued talking, he was interrupted by the host, who said, Why do I care? Why do I care whats going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? And why shouldnt I root for Russia, which I am.

Too bad he's here.

And so he does, because it's either Fox Noise or a personal blog with 15,000 hard core followers and about 250,000 fictitious ones to make it look like he's popular, and try to drum up enough advertising to pay for the upkeep on his car.

(54,436 posts)Some have an addiction to seeing themselves on TV and having their names in the headlines (hmmm, sounds like someone I know of already, come to think of it). If they lack the talent to be the next Robert DiNiro, then they aspire to be the next William Buckley. They fail at that, too, but at least they get the tube time and the headlines.
I wonder if he's any relation to Clint Carlson, the Dallas billionaire hedge fund manager? If so, it's not one happy family, as Clint despises the Republicans.
