Tucker Carlson has launched his long-awaited Twitter show, posting a 10-minute clip full of conspiracy theories, attacks on Ukraine and rants about the ignorance of most Americans.
“At this point, it’s possible that American citizens are the least informed people in the world,” he said.
Carlson began “Episode 1,” as he called it, with a discussion of Ukraine and Tuesday morning’s attack on the dam.
“This morning it looks like someone blew up the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine,” he said.
Ukraine said Russia had committed a deliberate war crime by blowing up the Soviet-era dam that powered a hydroelectric power plant. The Kremlin blamed Ukraine, saying it was trying to distract from launching a major counter-offensive. Moscow says it’s faltering.
Carlson sided with Russia, as he often does, arguing that it was not in their interest to destroy the dam.
He said many people assumed it was President Vladimir Putin who ordered the dam blown up, adding, “Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong, Mr. and Mrs. Cable News Consumer.”
Tucker Carlson debuted his highly anticipated Twitter show on Tuesday
Carlson pointed out that the dam was on Russian territory, captured in the early days of the war in the spring of 2022, and so it would be like “Putin attacking himself.”
However, damage has focused on Ukrainian land and 1,300 people have been evacuated: 80 settlements are at risk of flooding.
Carlson continued, deep with sarcasm, “We can say with certainty that Zelensky was not involved. He couldn’t have been.
