He then asked his audience a series of questions:

Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every middle class job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Is he trying to snuff out Christianity? Does he eat dogs? These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn’t do any of that.

Carlson then described Russia’s incursion into Ukraine as a “border dispute.” The host claimed that President Joe Biden is indebted to Ukrainian oligarchs and stated that Ukraine is a tyranny, explaining that the main opposition leader is in jail and said the country’s president has banned certain opposition TV stations.
