Tucker Carlson Cries 'Slander' After GOP Congressman Calls His Show 'Organ of Russian Disinformation

Tucker Carlson leveled claims of slander against Texas GOP Rep. Michael McCaul on Thursday night, after McCaul called the Fox News host’s show “an organ of Russian disinformation.”

“In recent days, McCaul has told a number of people that this show is an organ of Russian disinformation,” Carlson said on his show this week. “In other words, not only are we wrong, which is fine, we are disloyal Americans. We’re doing the bidding of a foreign power. That is not fine. That is slander.”

Though Russian State TV has indeed been using clips of Carlson’s show and his comments to further its propaganda, Carlson added that he and his team “don’t care what the Russian government says.”

“Unlike Michael McCaul, we are only and narrowly interested in the interests of our own country. That would be the United States, where we were born and where we plan to die,” Carlson continued. “We don’t care what the Russian government says. We only care what the United States does and what our future looks like because we have children here.”

outside the Fox Studios. If the Russians can come out under the treat of imprisonment to protest Putin then it shouldn’t be so hard for us to do the same during that twit’s show.
