Boris Johnson Calls Tucker Carlson a ‘Traitor to Journalism’ for Putin Interview
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has slammed Tucker Carlson as a “traitor to journalism,” accusing him of bum-sucking servility to a tyrant” after his interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Johnson, who reportedly scuppered a Russia-Ukraine peace deal 18 months ago, was ousted as Prime Minister due to several corruption scandals involving his Clinton-linked wife, Carrie Symonds.
The former British PM has not taken a role at the arguably mainstream “controlled” GB News channel in the United Kingdom.
“He was just the medium, the sewer, the hose by which the untreated slurry of Putin’s message could be sprayed where Putin wants it most — over the fertile heartlands of America,” wrote Johnson in an angry screed on Friday.
The National Pulse reported:
Johnson scarcely denied the assertions made by both Vladimir Putin and pro-Ukraine globalist Fiona Hill, that he was the cause of the prolonged war, simply referring to the allegation as “ludicrous” and insisting, “nothing and no one could have stopped those lion-hearted Ukrainians from fighting for their country — and nothing will.”
His op-ed concludes:
“I hope and believe that if President Trump is elected again he will confound his critics, turn his party [a]round and complete the work that he began when he became the first U.S. President to give arms to the Ukrainians.”
Similarly, Hillary Clinton slammed Tucker for his Putin interview by calling him a “useful idiot” and a “puppy dog.”
During an appearance on MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Wagner asked Clinton:”
“Tucker Carlson is in Moscow right now interviewing Vladimir Putin. The first American – I’ll say – journalist to interview Putin since the war in Ukraine began. What does not tell you about Tucker Carlson and right-wing media and also Vladimir Putin?”
Clinton said:
“Well, it shows me what I think we’ve all known. He’s what is called a useful idiot. I mean, if you actually read translations of what’s being said on Russian media, they make fun of him.”
“I mean, he’s like a puppy dog. You know, somehow, after having been fired from so many outlets and the United States, he– I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet because he is a useful idiot,” she said.
Watch
Such is the fear they have over #tuckercarlson that they produce senior demon Hillary Clinton to try and tarnish him over his Putin interview; “He’s like a puppy dog… He is a useful idiot. He’s been fired from so many outlets here in the U.S. that I wouldn’t be surprised if he… pic.twitter.com/IAo0LgX4Qh
