Daily Cellar’s very own quisling continues to announce some of his allegiances.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson grilled a GOP congressman on Wednesday night for urging American military support to Ukraine amid increased Russian aggression. And at one point, Carlson wondered “why we would take Ukraine’s side and not Russia’s side” in the conflict.

Eventually, Carlson wanted to know why the United States should even be an ally of Ukraine.
“Hold on, why would we take Ukraine’s side and not Russia’s side? It’s a sincere question, if you’re looking at America’s perspective,” Carlson proclaimed. “Who’s got the energy reserves? Who was the major player in world affairs? Who’s the potential counterbalance against China, which is the actual threat? Why would we take Ukraine’s side, why aren’t we on Russia’s side? I’m totally confused!”
Turner replied that Ukraine is a democracy and “Russia is an authoritarian regime that is seeking to impose its will upon a validly elected democracy,” noting that America is “for democracy” and “not for authoritarian regimes.” Carlson shrugged off that response.
“I mean, I’m for democracies in other countries, I guess, but I’m really for America and I think that our interest is in counterbalancing the actual threat, which is China,” the host retorted. “And the only other country with any throw weight that might help us do that is Russia, and our continuation of the Cold War has pushed Russia towards China, and that does not serve our interests in any way, does it? Or maybe it does.”
Unlike two years ago, when he walked back his claim that he was rooting for Russia in its conflict with Ukraine, it doesn’t appear that the Fox News star was merely “joking” this time around.

Trump, with the help of outlets like Fox News, has been pushing a dishonest narrative in touting intelligence documents that
his administration declassified last month on the eve of the first presidential debate. They claimed the information was a supposed smoking gun proving that Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration sought to frame Trump with a Russian collusion scandal.
But when examined closely the documents indicate no such thing. In fact, by the Trump administration's own admission, they are based on unverified Russian intelligence that could be totally bogus. Which is to say that the President and Fox News personalities such as Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson are hyping and disseminating information that originates from a foreign adversary to bludgeon top Democratic officials.
