Speaking on his Fox News show Monday night, Carlson laughed off their comments that he had been ״shilling״ for Putin and Whoopi Goldberg’s comment that “They used to arrest people for stuff like this.”
He replied: Really? “They used to arrest people for saying stuff like this.” When did they arrest people for saying stuff like this, and who are they exactly?”

“So we are at war with Russia! We must send you to the gulag for freedom!” he teased.
“Because a democracy, the one thing democracy doesn’t have patience for is dissenting views from its citizens, particularly citizens who sincerely hope and pray for the best for their own country.”

Much of the Liberal outrage towards Carlson comes from his choice to highlight the United States’ funding of Biolabs in Ukraine.

He cautioned that the same material, which is frozen, could be released into the air with devastating consequences if the labs are damaged during the fighting, and it is able to thaw.

Pope issued a bulletin in February stating that some of the biological material had formerly been used for Soviet-era bioweapons programs, though that Ukraine no longer had the ability to develop such weapons.
Commenting on the significance of Pope’s warning, Carlson went on: “And they didn’t secure them before the Russians invaded, though they knew the Russian invasion was coming because they told us.”
“And then, Toria Nuland, the Under Secretary of State who oversees this disaster, testified under oath that, yes, Russian forces might seize those Biolabs in Ukraine, and we should all be very worried about that possibility.”
