Russian-British podcaster Konstantin Kisin has thrown a verbal grenade at former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, calling him a savvy operator who profits by "manipulating idiots."
The controversy stems from a viral clip of Carlson clashing with rage-baiting British broadcaster Piers Morgan over World War II history, where Carlson questioned Winston Churchill's heroic legacy and suggested Britain "voluntarily" entered the war, leading to the empire's downfall.
"People want to tell me Churchill’s an incredible guy - really? Well, why didn’t he save Western civilization?" Carlson argued, dismissing Churchill's defeat of the Nazis as a "theoretical victory" and blaming the alliance with Stalin for modern woes.
Morgan fired back, insisting Churchill "saved Western civilization" by defeating Hitler, and pressed Carlson on what he would have done differently, only to get evasive responses like, "I have no idea... I would have been opposed to him."
Kisin's quip came as a direct reply to a pro-Ukraine account labeling Carlson "the biggest idiot on the planet" for his take.
"Tucker is not an idiot. He is just very good at making money by manipulating idiots. Key difference," Kisin wrote, a statement that quickly spread to Instagram and Facebook, amplifying the backlash.
