Team —

This week, I called out Tucker Carlson for his love for Putin. And even though he promptly turned on his television cameras and attacked me, I’d do it again.

Tucker and the Fox News propaganda machine are reducing the crisis in Ukraine to anti-Biden talking points to score political points with their viewers. Tucker has even gone as far as to invite Putin to be interviewed on Fox News.

Let me be clear: I find Tucker’s support for Putin to be sickening and un-American.

I am not surprised that Tucker and the GOP propaganda apparatus known as Fox News would invite an authoritarian strongman like Vladimir Putin to have a platform on their network. The GOP continues to cozy up to Russia when Russia has shown time and again that its interest lies in undermining the United States and sowing further division in our country.

I’m not interested in hearing from Vladimir Putin on American cable news, and I’m not at all bothered by Tucker’s attack. But team, I need to know that you have my back if I’m going to continue to stand up to un-American bullies like Tucker Carlson. Will you make a contribution to my re-election campaign today and show Tucker that we will not be intimidated by his threats?
