Fox News host Tucker Carlson has fired back Joy Behar after “The View” co-host accused him of “colluding” with Russia and told him to move to Moscow.
During Monday’s broadcast of the ABC show, Behar and her co-hosts called on the Department of Justice to open an investigation into the Carlson.
Behar’s co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed that they used to arrest people for what Carlson is “doing.”
“They used to arrest people for saying stuff like this,” Carlson said, mocking Goldberg.
“When did they arrest people for saying stuff like this and who is ‘they’ exactly?
“So we are at war with Russia.
“We must send you to the gulag ‘because freedom.’
“Because a democracy, the one thing democracy doesn’t have patience for is dissenting views from its own citizens, particularly citizens who sincerely hope and pray for the best for their own country.”
Joy Behar said on The View: “I hope he is planning to move to Moscow because he won’t be welcome here for much longer.”
Ana Navarro said: “I think DOJ, in the same way that is setting up a task force to investigate Russian oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin.
“If you are a foreign asset to a dictator it should be investigated.
“I even hate that we’re discussing it. I think to myself who is this woman, she’s no longer in Congress, the fact that we’re giving her oxygen is what makes her relevant.
“On the other hand, how do you not call out something that is repeating false Russian propaganda and has been brought down,” she said.
Goldberg added: “They used to arrest people for doing stuff like this.”
“If they thought that you were colluding with a Russian agent if they thought you were putting out information they used to actually investigate stuff like this.
“I guess now there seems to be no bars and people are not being told to hate Putin.
“Putin doesn’t need a reason to be hated it’s pretty much clear.”
Navarro argued that Paul Ryan and other Fox News board of directors should “step in” and silence Carlson.
“They call themselves patriots,” she said.
“It’s not enough to be posting flags about Ukraine there’s a bunch of folks on that board who I wish would be weighing in and saying we cannot be Russian state TV.
“At least not every hour.”
Amen, Tucker Carlson
Our Duty Is To Care About AMERICA’s Borders
“So your country is completely changing at exactly the moment they’re telling you to put a Ukrainian flag in your twitter handle. I wonder why that is?” pic.twitter.com/bmdjUxRQib
