Panel on 'The View' calls for DOJ to probe Tucker Carlson over Putin rhetoric
By Dominick Mastrangelo - 03/14/22 01:15 PM EDT

The co-hosts of ABC's "The View" on Monday slammed Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson for a number of comments he has made in recent weeks about Russian President Vladimir Putin and suggested the host be investigated by the Department of Justice (DOJ) over them.

"I think DOJ, in the same way that is setting up a task force to investigate [Russian] oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin," host Ana Navarro said. "If you are a foreign asset to a dictator it should be investigated."

Several of the show's co-hosts expressed agreement as Navarro spoke.

Navarro's assertion came amid a discussion about an article in Mother Jones this week outlining a reportedly leaked memo from the Kremlin that suggested it is "essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson," as part of its propaganda efforts during the invasion of Ukraine.

Carlson, Fox's top-rated host, has drawn widespread criticism in the United States for his comments about Putin and the war in Ukraine, in which he has questioned why Americans should care about the conflict and described it as a "border dispute."

The bombastic host has suggested to his viewers that Democrats and media figures are telling the American people they should hate Putin and support war with Russia.

Our government already spied on him.  It's part of the reason he does not trust them.

Tucker Carlson has hit back at the hosts of The View after they called for him to face a Department of Justice investigation for highlighting the US government's funding of Ukrainian biolabs.

Speaking on his Fox News show Monday night, Carlson laughed off their remarks that he had been 'shilling' for Putin and Whoopi Goldberg's remark that 'They used to arrest people for stuff like this.'

He answered: Really? 'They used to arrest people for saying stuff like this.' When did they arrest people for saying stuff like this, and who is they exactly?'

'So we are at war with Russia! We must send you to the gulag because freedom!' he mocked.

'Because a democracy, the one thing democracy doesn't have patience for is dissenting views from its own citizens, particularly citizens who sincerely hope and pray for the best for their own country.'

Much of the liberal anger towards Carlson comes from his decision to highlight the United States' funding of biolabs in Ukraine.

Much of the liberal anger towards Carlson comes from his decision to highlight the United States' funding of biolabs in Ukraine.

And even bloviating from Republicans like Dirty Mitts.

Sure has struck a nerve with a certain set of swampy people.
