- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the idea of Tucker Carlson interviewing Vladimir Putin.
- The former Fox News presenter arrived in Moscow in recent days, claimed a Russian Telegram channel.
- Carlson has been a defender of Putin and has echoed Kremlin talking points.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.
Carlson was spotted in Moscow in the audience at the world-famous Bolshoi Theater, according to Russian Telegram channel Mash.
The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.
The Georgia Rep. added: “They HATE when someone like Tucker goes ‘off script.’ We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!”
Lmao and she’s trying to spin it as “freedom of the press”. I swear she’s got the mental capacity of a koala.
She probably has the syphilis of a koala too.

You’re right. Chlamydia probably has the syphilis of a koala.
I take offense to that. This is insulting to the Koalas
Please don’t insult koalas.
“Russian Asset Defends Russian Asset”
its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!
If ever you needed proof that she lives in a completely different world where objective reality doesn’t matter, that’s it.
Perjury Traitor Greene: says batshit thing, gets in the press again
Perjury Traitor Greene: Yessssssss!
Why is this news? I mean, “Russian asset defends Russian asset” is pretty much expected. It’s the equivalent of a news article saying that a rock in the middle of a field absorbed heat from the sun.
Not only is it not news, it’s so commonplace that it defies any reason to print.
Assholes celebrating traitors who interview terrorists.
Tucker is interviewing Putin to get more and improved pointers for Republican’s second upcoming coup attempt. Voter suppression was not enough. Now the GOP wants to have the state decide elections.
Maybe he’ll accidentally fall out of a window while he’s in Russia…
Why would he? He still regurgitates Kremlin propaganda at every turn, and people still listen to him. He’s still useful; what reason would a totally accidental trip to Russia be?
How I imagine the interview to sound
Tucker: my research suggests that you have a 12" cocktail
Putin: is actually 14
Tucker…
Putin: I take no further questions (takes off mike, exits stage left)
I’d prefer he exit via a swan drive into the orchestra pit rather than stage left
I’d prefer he exit via ~a swan drive~ being thrown into ~the orchestra~ an alligator pit rather than stage left.
Ftfy
Freedom of the press for the guy who has opponents and critics literally thrown out of buildings… Sounds great Greene
Leaked Kremlin memos from years ago instructed RT to air “as many Carlson clips as possible.” So yeah, wouldn’t be surprised.
Why in the actual fuck has she not been even interviewed by the feds about her placing “devices” on the night before January 6th?
The walk, the mannerisms… I’d put money down that it was her. Yet she is still walking free and talking shit about the people who should be taking her in for questioning about it, at very least.
Would it be in russian, Tucker Carlsonovich? Would he end up in some cozy ministry position, Gazprom’s board or as a regular guest speaker on the shows? Would Elon host the stream on Twitter?
Putin wants to show that he’s still out there, to show his middle finger, to fuel conspiracies and scare off aid. Tucker can do interviews all he wants. But it should make him so toxic even right media wouldn’t employ him anymore.
The fact he got contacted about that idea and it was greenlit means there’s some channels of communications between Russia and republican circles. Maybe there’s something more to know?
But it should make him so toxic even right media wouldn’t employ him anymore.
With the way the Trump-led GOP has about faced and now fetishizes Russia in general and Putin specifically? Please.
The fact he got contacted about that idea and it was greenlit
Speculation.
there’s some channels of communications between Russia and republican circles.
Front channels too. I don’t think it’s some big bombshell that the GOP has ties to Putin and Russia in general.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.
The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.
Carlson, who has defended Putin and echoed Kremlin talking points, said last year that he had previously tried to interview the Russian leader but that the US government had stopped him.
Leaked memos from the Kremlin to Russian state media in the week after the invasion instructed them to use “as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson.”
Representatives for Carlson did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.
