Retired Lt. Col. Vindman says Tucker Carlson likes to 'demonize and hate the United States'

Retired Lt. Colonel Alexander Vindman criticized Fox News host Tucker Carlson for scaremongering and anti-American rhetoric.

"It's interesting to hear folks like Tucker Carlson demonize and hate the United States because that's what he's doing. He's hating the United States," Vindman said.




Vindman, a key witness in Donald Trump's first impeachment trial, made the comments while appearing on CNN to discuss how Capitol officers who testified about January 6 had their credibility attacked by people like Carlson.

He said he felt a "kinship" and a "common shared experience" with the officers after having had his own credibly similarly attacked after the Ukraine impeachment trial.

"I would just ask the American public to take a look around, walk your streets," Vindman said. "Does it look anything like the world Tucker Carlson portrays, or that Donald Trump portrays?"

We’re not some authoritarian right wing paradise like Hungary.

But look on the positive side: none of us are forced to grow up with Hungarian as a native language. That has to be worth SOMETHING.

Nem igaz?

... but the other ChumpHumpers are all doing it for free.



By the way I have a tremendous amount of respect for Lt. Col. Vindman.
This isn't about him, and he does speak the truth.
