Monday on MSNBC’s race-mongering propaganda outlet The ReidOut, MSNBC “intelligence analyst” Malcolm Nance smeared Fox News Channel’s Tucker Carlson and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) as Russian “collaborators” who are “deliberately working to undermine the American structure.”

Nance said, “Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Tulsi Gabbard, I think somewhere along the line, they don’t believe this, but they think that it’s in their interest to say these things. For Tucker Carlson, it’s pretty clear anything that helps Donald Trump out, whether it means turning against the United States, collaborating with another country’s propaganda machine, so long as it gets him the adoration of MAGA world he will do it.”

What’s “pretty clear” is that Nance is demonizing any media figure who questions the Biden administration’s agitation for World War III as a traitor, because Nance will do anything that helps out his party’s agenda. Now that their manufactured pandemic is winding down, the Democrats have turned to exploiting another crisis — Putin’s invasion of Ukraine — to blame for their own economic failures.

Nance added, “I don’t know if he really loves Vladimir Putin, but I have to clarify one thing. These people are not useful idiots. They are beyond useful idiots. Useful idiots don’t know as a term of art in the intelligence world. I don’t really know what they’re doing. They’re just stupid. These people are almost collaborators to a certain extent. They do know what they’re doing. I would call them an asset, especially Tucker Carlson. Tulsi Gabbard, she’s just a moron.”

No serious “intelligence analyst” talks this way — hurling juvenile invective and accusations of treason without an ounce of actual political insight. This is simply the hateful demagoguery of a true propagandist.
