Title: Lawyer banned by Putin says Ukraine is most repressive nation

Tucker Carlson
@TuckerCarlson
Ep. 97  Bob Amsterdam is an international human rights lawyer who’s been banned from Russia by Vladimir Putin. He says Ukraine is the single most repressive country he’s been to. “The idea it’s a democracy is a farce.” Once again, they’re lying to you and making you pay for it.

What a bunch of nonsense.  Ukraine is a country in a existential war against an aggressive and vicious invader.  This guy's a liar.

He has expressed some interesting views lately, no doubt.

And I've heard of this Amsterdam character before.  He's one of those slimy international lawyers you see as villains or lackeys in spy flicks, and he's on Putin's payroll.  The whole "banned by Putin" thing is a weak cover.  Russian oligarchs are his chief clients.

Didn't Tucker recently go off on UFOs? He seems to have adopted the Q Anon belief system. I don't bother watching him anymore.
