Tucker Carlson’s First Episode on Twitter Exploded in Views and Heads…Watch Why
Tucker Carlson returned to Twitter on Tuesday, June 6th, with a bang. His first tweet, which simply said “We’re back,” was liked over 100,000 times and retweeted over 20,000 times in just a few hours.
It was just a 10-minute monologue, but the topics ranged from Ukraine to Lindsey Graham to Nikki Haley, and none of them were very positive..
Carlson still has many on the left and the right melting down. When you watch the episode, you will know why.
CARLSON: Hey, it’s Tucker Carlson. This morning it looks like someone blew up the Kakhovka dam in southern Ukraine. The rushing wall of water wiped out entire villages, destroyed a critical hydropower plant, and as of tonight, puts the largest nuclear reactor in Europe in danger of melting down. So if this was intentional, it was not a military action; it was an act of terrorism.
The question is, who did it? Well, let’s see. The Kakhovka dam was effectively Russian. it was built by the Russian government and it currently sits in Russian-controlled territory. The dam’s reservoir supplies water to Crimea, which has been for the last 240 years, home of the Russian Black Sea fleet.
Blowing up the dam may be bad for Ukraine, but it hurts Russia more, and for precisely that reason, the Ukrainian government has considered destroying it. In December, the Washington Post quoted a Ukrainian general saying his men had fired American-made rockets at the dam’s floodgate as a test strike.
So really, once the facts start coming, it becomes much less of a mystery what might have happened to the dam. Any fair person would conclude that the Ukrainians probably blew it up, just as you would assume that they blew up Nord Stream, the Russian natural gas pipelines last fall, and in fact, the Ukrainians did do that, as we now know. It’s not like Vladimir Putin is anxious to wage war on himself.
“Oh, but that’s where you’re wrong Mr. and Mrs. Cable News Consumer. Vladimir Putin is exactly that sort of man!” The sort of man who would shoot himself in order to annoy you.
Carlson wrapped up the video by focusing on a theme he shared during his original two-minute teaser last month. He believes the press focuses on so much that doesn’t matter while burying real stories. Namely, there are articles on Donald Trump, trans people, and climate change, but not a single article on the government admitting the existence of UFOs, Carlson quipped.
The video has over 16 million views and 255,000 likes.
