WATCH: Hillary Clinton Reacts to Tucker Carlson Interviewing Putin; “Useful Idiot”
Tucker Carlson is scheduled to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, and one Russia-collusion-hoax-pushing former failed presidential candidate is not happy about it…
That’s right: Hillary Clinton just made an appearance on MSNBC, where she reacted to Tucker Carlson’s announcement that he will be interviewing Putin.
Killary blasted Carlson, labeling him a “useful idiot” and a “puppy dog.”
She added, “He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin’s pack of lies about Ukraine, so I don’t see why Putin wouldn’t give him an interview.”
Clinton also suggested that she “would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet” after the interview…

NEW: Twice failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton calls Tucker Carlson a “useful idiot” and a “puppy dog.”
Hillary is mad that a journalist is doing journalism.
“He’s like a puppy dog. You know? He somehow has been fired from so many outlets in the United States.”

The Hill commented on Hillary’s reaction to Tucker’s announcement:
Hillary Clinton reacted to conservative commentator Tucker Carlson’s recent announcement that he had secured an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling the former Fox News pundit a “useful idiot”
In an interview with MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, the former first lady appeared unsurprised by the news and highlighted comments made previously by Carlson about the ongoing war in Ukraine.
“He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin’s pack of lies about Ukraine, so I don’t see why Putin wouldn’t give him an interview,” she said.
Carlson has publicly voiced his opposition to U.S. support for Ukraine, arguing that American cities have suffered as a result of Congress and the White House providing billions of dollars in aid to the country.
The Daily Beast also said:
The former secretary of state reacted to the news of Carlson’s forthcoming interview with Putin—the first by an American media figure since the authoritarian leader initiated the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
After anchor Alex Wagner asked what Carlson’s latest act shows about himself, right-wing media and Putin, Clinton was scathing.
“Well, it shows me what I think we’ve all known: he’s what’s called a ‘useful idiot,’” she said. “I mean, if you actually read translations of what’s being said on Russian media, they make fun of him. I mean, he’s like a puppy dog.”
Clinton then said Carlson’s future could lie with state media in Putin’s country.
“After having been fired from so many outlets in the United States,” Clinton said, referring to Carlson’s on-camera careers at CNN, then MSNBC, and finally Fox, “I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet.”
Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin will drop this Thursday.
