Carlson said that the false allegation about abuse of minors was a product of Israel’s misinformation campaign and was falsely attributed by former US intelligence officials to Russian propaganda.
“They (Israel) were behind it," Carlson said. ”I felt like everybody in Washington knew it, but there was so much pressure not to criticise Israel in any way that they just said, ‘It’s the Russians, it’s the Russians’.”
“Maybe the Russians had a hand in it, but it was the Israelis who were pushing that fact,” Carlson said. ”Fact, I mean literally [pushing it] to me.”
There is no evidence that Hunter abused minors. The former US president’s son has long acknowledged the videos, texts and photos showing him engaging in drug and sex acts.
Tucker Carlson says a lot of things. He’s no ally.
His word doesn’t hold much weight but it is an Interesting admission from the right to start with.
It’s a bit ridiculous that Israel always gets to stay out of the crosshairs in every conspiracy because everything is somehow always Russia’s fault. If Tucker said “Russia told me this” I’d wager nobody would have a problem believing it.
Carson is not really right-wing, because he will declare whatever brings him the most attention. In the future, he will probably drift to the left, then back to the right. He may even speak as a socialist in a few years.
Personally he has few beliefs, and views with contempt anyone who does.
I actually find it very easy to believe that foreign governments constantly exert pressure on Fox News host.
I would have guessed as much before any sort of admission.
