Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) told The Daily Beast that his office phones have been ringing off the hook in recent days with constituents calling and asking why the U.S. isn’t supporting Russia’s plans, citing Carlson’s prime time show.
“I, of course, know what Tucker Carlson’s been saying on Fox News for several weeks,” Malinowski said. “But this was the first time I got calls from constituents parroting his propaganda about Russia and Ukraine. And people were basically saying, ‘We shouldn’t be going to war for Ukraine, we should be giving Russia essentially what it wants.’”…
”It’s a free country. Everyone, including Tucker Carlson, has a right to their opinion,” Malinowski told The Daily Beast. “But when you have somebody with a mass following on cable news and social media working every night to convince Americans that one of our chief adversaries in the world is actually in the right, [it’s] dangerous and stupid. And it raises questions about the people who run Fox News and why they want to provide a platform for this propaganda.”
