Tucker Carlson says US involvement in the Ukraine war is meant to 'cause regime change in Moscow' as 'payback for the 2016 election'

Tucker Carlson of Fox News suggested this week that the US government has been giving aid to Ukraine in order to bring about regime change in Moscow.

Carlson claimed on his show that the Biden administration wants to use the war in Ukraine to oust Putin.

We don't arm Ukraine so we can help them. The Fox News host said that they are unfortunate pawns. Why? For stealing Hillary Clinton's crown.

Carlson noted that if the US government wanted to save Ukraine, it would push for a settlement now.

They are not doing that, but you would have done it two months ago.

Carlson claimed that the war in Ukraine was designed to cause regime change in Moscow.

They want to topple the Russian government. It would be payback for the election. He said that this is the inevitable end-stage of Russiagate.

The Fox News host referred to a high-profile scandal concerning Russian interference in the 2016 election, and former President Donald Trump's victory that year.

The Russian government interfered in the 2016 election in a systematic and elaborate attempt to ruin Hillary Clinton's chances of winning, according to an investigation by special counsel Robert Muller.

Carlson said that the Democrats are taking us to war with Russia because they believe that Russia stole the presidency from Hillary Clinton.

President Joe Biden wants Congress to pass a $33 billion aid package for Ukraine.

The US is sending military aid to Ukraine. Several aid packages for Ukraine were announced by the US government on April 14 and April 21.

Carlson suggested that the finances of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy be audited.

Carlson has been known to echo pro-Putin talking points on his show. He was named in a leaked Kremlin war memo as a prime subject to be featured on Russian state media.
