Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin got a lot of attention. But I was more struck by Carlson’s reaction to his visit to Moscow — his first ever. He was not just impressed; it left him radicalized and enraged at his own government.

â– Tucker Carlson praises Moscow during a Dubai trip.
â– Carlson ignores the fact that anyone who criticizes Vladimir Putin can end up in prison or dead.
â– Carlson needs to get out in the world more, says Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria.
In Dubai, a few days after the interview, Carlson put forth a bizarre hodgepodge of assertions. He thought the architecture, food, and service in Moscow were better than in any American city.
Really? Moscow, outside of a small historic center, is filled with drab Soviet-era concrete buildings. And while food in Moscow can be quite good, is it better than in New York or San Francisco? You need to get out more, Tucker!
