The ballooning billions in money and munitions the United States is sending to Ukraine is motivated by a Democrat revenge fantasy aimed at taking out Vladimir Putin \u2013 as payback for stealing the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton, Tucker Carlson said Monday night.<\/p>\n

The Fox News host laid out the case in his opening monologue, peppered with clips of Democratic leaders saying that \u201ctotal victory\u201d is the only outcome they seek in the bloody conflict. Carlson set out to define what they mean by that, even as the U.S. has already sent around $30 billion to uphold Ukraine\u2019s so-far successful defense.<\/p>\n

The most-watched person on cable news, routinely accused of being pro-Putin by left-leaning pundits, has repeatedly called Russia\u2019s invasion unprovoked and unjustified, voiced support for the Ukrainian people\u2019s resistance and denounced Moscow\u2019s relentless attack on civilians. But on Monday, the \u201cTucker Carlson Tonight\u201d monologue suggested there\u2019s at least one less-than-justified motivation for the staunch support from Washington\u2019s current majority party.<\/p>\n

Carlson said that when Clinton lost to Donald Trump in 2016, Democrats \u201cimmediately set out to find someone else to blame \u2026 Vladimir Putin got Donald Trump elected, they told us. Hillary Clinton said that repeatedly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was a childish psychological defense mechanism, it was not a factual claim,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd yet they kept saying it. In the face of no evidence. And over time they began acting on it like it was true. And then over even more time they paralyzed the entire federal government for years, fruitlessly trying to prove the core claims \u2026 The Russian government hacked our election!\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlson pointed out that the Russia-Russia-Russia narrative refuses to fade, despite no definitive evidence of Trump colluding with Russia (or that it \u201chacked\u201d or did anything to change the outcome of the 2016 election) has publicly emerged.<\/p>\n

\u201c[White House spokesperson] Jen Psaki not long ago was saying it out loud like it was true!\u201d Carlson said. \u201cContext: Biden is trying to overthrow Russian government.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Tucker<\/p><\/div>\n

And there it is: Carlson is convinced that Democrats are pursuing open conflict with Russia, with the desired outcome being regime change \u2013 in no small part to avenge their failed 2016 candidate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why they are taking us to war with Russia,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are a lot of things going on here, but at some level, the core motivation is just that simple. It\u2019s not about \u2018saving democracy,\u2019 please. We know it\u2019s not about protecting the sacred borders of a sovereign country; we know the Biden Administration doesn\u2019t are about those principles because they run our country and we see how they act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carlson added that what the Democrats are not<\/em> doing is just as telling as all the bluster and billowing aid packages:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to save Ukraine, its people, its infrastructure, its nation, you would push for a settlement now. You would\u2019ve done it two months ago. Instead, the war in Ukraine, is designed to cause regime change in Moscow. That would be payback for the outcome of the 2016 election.\u201d<\/p>\n

And just in case that didn\u2019t register, he repeated it:<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t arm Ukraine so we can help Ukrainians. They\u2019re just unfortunate pawns in all of this,\u201d he said. \u201cWe arm Ukraine so that we can punish Russia. Why? For stealing Hillary Clinton\u2019s coronation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
