Fox News host Tucker Carlson offered a warning on Monday about the repercussions of removing Russian President Vladimir Putin from power, and suggested that Islamic extremists would somehow get hold of the country’s nuclear weapons and use them on Americans.

“So, Russia has a large and restive population of Islamic extremists. Do we think it’s possible that with no one running the country ― because of course we have no chosen successor to Putin ― is it possible, if we did that, that one of those 6,000 nuclear weapons might wind up in the hands of some anti-American terror group and be used against our civilian population here?” he asked. “A nuclear weapon! Well, it’s not just possible, it’s likely.”

Carlson has made a habit of defending Putin, even after the Russian dictator made moves to invade Ukraine. Since the war began, Carlson has become a favorite for rebroadcasts on Russian propaganda channels for blaming President Joe Biden for the invasion, parroting Kremlin propaganda and spreading conspiracy theories justifying the invasion of Ukraine.

Earlier this month, a Mother Jones report revealed a leaked Kremlin memo that directed Russian state-sponsored media to use Carlson’s broadcasts “as much as possible” due to his criticism of the U.S. and NATO and defense of Putin.

1. Comrade Carlson, Putin butt boy.

[Ray Bruns]

2. Who the hell says if Putin is removed, the people who remove him won't be running the country?

Tucker is getting sloppy. He only mentioned two boogeymen, muslims and nukes.

3. If they do, I hope

it lands on him.

4. 😄 He's really reaching with his tongue.

[underpants]

5. Oh no, now it's Russian Islamists who SOMEHOW get ahold of a nuke

because without that one guy, anything can happen.

I thought you had a bad link - Yahoo Sports - but yep that’s where Yahoo put it.

6. Fucking traitor

[Walleye]

7. Pretty lame trying to scare us with Islam at this point

Those weapons are already in the hands of an anti-American terror group, Putin’s Russian government. There are nuclear armed Muslim countries, too.

Ick

[Wuddles440]

19. Normally...

I wouldn't give any credence to anything spewing from the mouth of this scumbag, but I have received information from reliable sources that Traitor KKKarlson consulted with one of the most renowned experts in foreign policy prior to making these comments - that person being none other than Kid Rock. Knowing this, we all can sleep soundly now.

[Calculating]

20. He's a traitor

Send him to Russia.

[geardaddy]

21. Well, he should know

He is Pootie's mouthpiece.

[GoodRaisin]

23. He wants to propagandize the Fox News audience toward wanting to be ruled by

right wing authoritarianism by making them think it would protect them from being taken over by brown people. A lot of them already started loving Russia and Putin during when the slobfather was squatting in the White House. He’s been trying to build off that by stoking fear and talking about “Belarus law and order“ and I think he believes that he himself will become the American dictator.
