Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into Tucker Carlson for calling him a “dictator,” accusing him of repeating Vladimir Putin’s propaganda.
In an interview with Piers Morgan, Zelensky dismissed claims of suppressing opposition and defended Ukraine’s paused elections as necessary under martial law.
Criticizing Carlson’s pro-Kremlin rhetoric, he fumed, “It seems to me he needs to more deeply understand what’s happening in Ukraine, to stop working for Putin, to stop licking his ass.”
Zelensky insisted Ukraine is fighting to preserve democracy, not undermine it.
On an interview with Piers Morgan no less, amazing. I don’t think Morgan and Carlson get along that well, but they’re positioned similarly enough in the general media landscape that there’s probably a meaningfully non-zero audience shared between them
People forget he’s a comedian with media training. I think the more clown show the right wing media make this, all the better for him. Slava Ukraini
It’s worth noting that psychopaths aren’t deterred by shame or guilt, and usually the truth takes too long to explain to the masses…
… But mockery, humiliation, embarrassment really get to these folks because they have excessive vanity and self-esteem issues.
Remember when Putin banned images of him as a gay clown?
I don’t think anyone truly appreciated how funny he was until he ordered the entire Russian military to be roasted
Oh I did.
Okay I laughed but what the hell is even going on there?
He was a comedian before he became president. One of his bits was playing the piano with his dick. My hope is that after the catastrophic collapse of Russia and the complete withdrawal of the Russian Army from Ukraine, he’ll perform this for the UN security council.
Oooohh that was way more obvious in hindsight, don’t know how I didn’t register that it’s a piano. I knew he was a comedian, I just really couldn’t tell what the bit was supposed to be.
Very talented piano playing.
