Tucker Carlson criticised for praising Putin before Navalny death‘Leadership requires killing people’
"Just a few days before the announcement of the death of Russian opposition leader Aleksey Navalny, Tucker Carlson defended his interview with President Vladimir Putin, saying that “leadership requires killing people”.
The death of Mr Navalny was announced on Friday, 16 February.
On Monday, 12 February, the former Fox News host appeared at the World Government Summit in Dubai. He was interviewed by Egyptian journalist Emad El Din Adeeb, who asked: “Comparing the culture, the competence between Vladimir Putin and [US President Joe] Biden, how do you see the two men now running the world?”
“If this were boxing the fight would be called by the medic,” Carlson said, according to watchdog Media Matters.
“So, and I say that as an American, and I don’t have another passport, I don’t plan to ever leave my country, my family’s been there hundreds of years and I love it and I am a patriotic American and I grieve when I see that the president is non compos mentis,” he added, using a Latin phrase meaning “of unsound mind”."
