Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative pundit and former Fox News anchor, has made startling accusations against the Biden administration. During an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show, Carlson alleged that the administration attempted to assassinate Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking with journalist Matt Taibbi, Carlson claimed, “The Biden administration tried to kill Putin, which is insane. That’s demented that you would even think of something like that.” He further accused the administration of fostering chaos as a strategy to shield its own agenda.
Carlson referenced former US Secretary of State Tony Blinken, accusing him of advocating for a direct confrontation with Russia. However, Carlson did not present any concrete evidence to support his claims.
Kremlin Responds to Allegations About Putin’s Safety
In response to Carlson’s allegations, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russian special services are taking all necessary measures to ensure Putin’s safety.
“The Russian special services are constantly taking all the necessary measures to ensure public safety, and, of course, the safety of those who are under state protection. This concerns first and foremost the head of the state,” Peskov affirmed.
The Biden administration has yet to respond to these sensational claims, which have stirred widespread controversy.
Carlson’s History of Criticizing US-Ukraine Policies
This isn’t the first time Carlson has made headlines for his controversial views. He has previously criticized US military aid to Ukraine, labeling the country as a “tyranny” rather than a democracy.
Carlson’s outspoken stance on US-Ukraine policies, along with his interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, has drawn criticism for appearing to echo Kremlin talking points. His remarks have sparked debate, with some viewing them as provocative and others as an expression of dissenting opinion.
Despite the backlash, Carlson remains a polarizing figure, often challenging mainstream narratives and stirring debate on US foreign policy.
