• Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the idea of Tucker Carlson interviewing Vladimir Putin.
  • The former Fox News presenter arrived in Moscow in recent days, claimed a Russian Telegram channel.
  • Carlson has been a defender of Putin and has echoed Kremlin talking points.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.

Carlson was spotted in Moscow in the audience at the world-famous Bolshoi Theater, according to Russian Telegram channel Mash.

The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.

The Georgia Rep. added: “They HATE when someone like Tucker goes ‘off script.’ We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!”

    How I imagine the interview to sound

    Tucker: my research suggests that you have a 12" cocktail

    Putin: is actually 14

    Tucker…

    Putin: I take no further questions (takes off mike, exits stage left)

      I’d prefer he exit via a swan drive into the orchestra pit rather than stage left

        I’d prefer he exit via ~a swan drive~ being thrown into ~the orchestra~ an alligator pit rather than stage left.
