Fox News' Tucker Carlson downplayed the news that top Al Qaeda leader and 9/11 planner Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed by a CIA drone attack, just to smear president Biden over the pullout of US troops in Afghanistan and for "forcing Putin to invade Ukraine."

Tucker looked desperate. Pretty amazing confluence to link together just to attack Biden, even for Putin's most coveted US media puppet.

And this right after Tucker yukked it up with Trump at the LIV Golf Sportswashing Tournament.

Carlson opened his Monday program saying that Biden was "boasting he has killed an al-Qaeda figure in Afghanistan, great," he said mockingly.

"Feel safer? Of course, you don't," Carlson proclaimed.

Carlson then read of his prepared talking points that blame Biden's removal of US troops from Afghanistan, even though it was Trump's negotiated deal with the Taliban.

Then Carlson bizarrely segued into blaming Biden for Russia invading Ukraine.

"Just days after the Russian government announced yet again that if Ukraine joined NATO -- if Ukraine were to join NATO, than the Russian army would invade Ukraine," Carlson stated.

Carlson then blasted Vice President Harris for making a speech promoting the hope of Ukraine joining NATO.

I'm at a loss. Did Ukraine ever join NATO?

No.

This is pure Russian state-sponsored television.

Outside of Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson has been the biggest puppet that spreads Russian propaganda for Vladimir Putin in the US.

It's shameful.

PS. Later in his same show, it was back to sportswashing the murderers of Jamal Khashoggi.
