Tucker Carlson, a prominent conservative American expert and former Fox News presenter, has unleashed an accusation of bombs against the Joe Biden administration, claiming that they tried to kill the Russian president Vladimir Putin. This extraordinary claim was made during the last episode of Carlson’s podcast, “The Tucker Carlson Show”, where he participated in a conversation with the American writer and journalist Matt Taibbi.
Carlson’s statement is nothing less than sensational, and quoted former Secretary of State for the United States, Tony Blinken, as an example of someone who was pressing for a real war and trying to kill Putin. “The Biden administration did, they tried to kill Putin,” said Carlson, and added “which is crazy” and “that is insane, that you would even think about something like that. So why were they? Because chaos is a screen that protects them. “

It is worth noting that Carlson’s statement is not supported by any concrete evidence, and his statement has caused a generalized controversy. He was expelled from Fox News in 2023 during when the network faced legal problems for its issuance of inaccurate claims of electoral fraud in the United States presidential race in 2020.
The Biden administration has not yet responded to these accusations, but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on the matter, stating that Russian special services are taking all necessary measures to guarantee Putin’s security.
“Russian special services constantly take all necessary measures to guarantee public safety and, of course, the security of those under state protection. This refers first of all to the head of the State,” said Peskov.
Carlson’s story to look at the Kremlin conversation points and criticize US military aid for Ukraine has raised his eyebrows, and his recent comments have only added fuel to the fire. He has even said: “You can’t say enough, Ukraine is not a democracy. … In American terms, you would call Ukraine a tyranny.” His interview sitting in Moscow with Putin and his subsequent interview with Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, have been widely criticized.
