Tucker Carlson Offers INSANE Defense Of Kim Jong Un

Tucker Carlson traveled with Donald Trump to North Korea over the weekend, and while there, he decided to call into Fox & Friends to tell the hosts what it means to be a leader. Carlson said that he understands why most people are skeptical of Kim Jong Un, but at the same time being a leader means that sometimes you just have to murder a lot of people. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this bizarre statement.

For some reason, Fox News host Tucker Carlson got to travel to South Korea with Donald Trump. When Donald Trump decided to crossover into the demilitarized zone into North Korea to meet with the leader Kim Jong Un. And on Sunday morning, Tucker Carlson gave a call in interview to Fox & Friends where he offered one of the most insane defenses of Kim Jong Un's brutal dictatorial regime. Here it is.

"That's the type of thing that does make some people nervous though. He recently, Trump has on Trump recently made a comment about having a certain type of good chemistry with Kim Jong Un. And that may be true, but when you're talking about someone who has been responsible for so many human rights abuses, does he want to risk with that kind of language of a coming off to Kim Jong Un like he's pandering to him to an extent or be upsetting the American public that that elected a president, that they want to stand firm and be tough on those human rights violations and stand firm on American principles, which exists in virtually complete contrast to how the North Korean or regime is wrong."

"Yeah. I mean, there's no defending the North Korean regime, which is a monstrous regime. That's the last really Stalinist regime in the world. It's a disgusting place, Eh, obviously it's so, there's no defending it. On the other hand, you know, you got to be honest about what it means to, to lead a country. It means killing people, not on this scale that North Koreans do, but a lot of countries committed atrocities, including a number that we're closely allied with. So, you know, I'm not a relativist or anything, but if it's important to be honest about that, and it's not necessarily a choice between, you know, the evil people in the great people, it's a choice most of the time between the bad people in the worst people. That's just kind of nature of life and certainly nature for a power."

You know, my favorite part about that little clip right there is the fact that he's like, oh, of course you can't defend them. They're awful. It's horrible over there. It's, it's filthy. On the other hand, that's literally you guys. Yeah. On the other end, sometimes you just got to kill people. Right. It has got to go out there and mow them down. I guess like weeds that have overgrown in your lawn, right Talker, and I guess that makes it okay or the fact that the u s is also friendly with other regimes who do the same thing like Saudi Arabia like that, that makes this, okay. No, it is not okay in any capacity, and in fact that is why former presidents refused to go over there to talk to him because they know what a psychopath he truly is. Donald Trump on the other hand says, I'm going to do this because nobody else could do it. Oh No, no, no, no. They could have. They were smart enough not to, and now I'm not saying that we shouldn't have some kind of relations with North Korea, but those relations need to come in the form of demands.
