Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin amid rumors that the former Fox News host is in Moscow.

Carlson was spotted in Moscow in the audience at the world-famous Bolshoi Theater, according to Russian Telegram channel Mash.

The report that Carlson is in Russia sparked speculation that he might interview Putin while there, who has been largely isolated from the world stage following his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.

“Democrats and their propagandists in the media are spasming at the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin,” Greene wrote on X.

The Georgia Rep. added: “They HATE when someone like Tucker goes ‘off script.’ We have a free press in this country and its people like Tucker Carlson who we depend on to speak the truth!”

    But it should make him so toxic even right media wouldn’t employ him anymore.

    With the way the Trump-led GOP has about faced and now fetishizes Russia in general and Putin specifically? Please.

    The fact he got contacted about that idea and it was greenlit

    Speculation.

    there’s some channels of communications between Russia and republican circles.

    Front channels too. I don’t think it’s some big bombshell that the GOP has ties to Putin and Russia in general.
