Fiery Feud Erupts: Triggernometry's Konstantin Kisin Brands Tucker Carlson a Master Manipulator | WATCH

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.

As a vocal critic of authoritarianism, drawing from his Soviet-era roots, Kisin has built a reputation on his TRIGGERnometry podcast for skewering woke ideologies and defending Western values, making his swipe at Carlson all the more pointed.

Reactions poured in fast and furious. One X user defended Carlson as "an authentic seeker of truth," blasting Kisin as a "propagandist" and "enemy of truth."

Another called Carlson a "silver spoon imbecile" urging people to deny him an audience.

A more philosophical take suggested Carlson's fate would be "the harshest" under "universal justice," far worse than his followers.

This isn't Carlson's first brush with WWII revisionism. Earlier in 2025, he faced backlash for interviewing a "Churchill revisionist," prompting accusations of platforming Holocaust deniers.

Critics like Jewish commentator Tovia Goldstein labeled him a "Hitler simp with no intellect," summarizing the exchange as Carlson dodging questions while insisting he's "anti-Hitler."

Others, including Kisin in a Substack post, argued Carlson's views stem from a "low resolution worldview" that ignores Hitler's explicit threats to the West.

The broader debate highlights deepening rifts in conservative circles: isolationism versus interventionism, free speech versus historical accuracy. Carlson, now thriving in independent media with millions of views, has pivoted to provocative content that critics say echoes Kremlin talking points and fringe narratives.

As one analyst put it, he's "testing the audience’s thresholds," turning grievances into a lucrative empire.

With the clip still circulating and replies piling up, this spat raises bigger questions: Is Carlson a bold truth-teller or a calculated provocateur? And in an era of echo chambers, who's really being manipulated? As Kisin might say, the key difference lies in spotting the game before it's too late.
