Hillary Clinton has said Tucker Carlson is a “useful idiot” for interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Mirror.
The conservative ex-Fox News commentator is expected to publish an interview with Putin at later today. The controversial interview is seen with suspicion as Carlson has previously sided against the provision of aid to Ukraine following Russia’s invasion.
In an interview with MSNBC, Hilary Clinton said of Carlson: “If you actually read translations of what is being said on Russian media, they make fun of him …he’s like a puppy dog. He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin’s pack of lies about Ukraine, so I don’t see why Putin wouldn’t give him an interview.” She added: “I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet, because he is a useful idiot.”
