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?"

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.

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.
