Clinton has been seething ever since losing to Donald Trump in 2016. But now her sights are on someone else.
And this video of Hillary Clinton exposed who her next target is.
On Wednesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Tucker Carlson a “useful idiot” for Russia in response to the former Fox News host’s exclusive interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Clinton stated that she was not surprised by the interview because Carlson already “parrots” Putin’s views on Ukraine and that the Russian media mocks the former host as a “puppy dog” for the foreign leader.
“He says things that are not true. He parrots Vladimir Putin’s pack of lies about Ukraine, so I don’t see why Putin wouldn’t give him an interview,” Clinton told MSNBC.
“If you actually read translations of what is being said on Russian media, they make fun of him. … He’s like a puppy dog. I would not be surprised if he emerges with a contract with a Russian outlet because he is a useful idiot.”
"[Tucker Carlson] is what's called a 'useful idiot'… he's like a puppy dog."

It’s almost as if Clinton is still chasing the Russia specter from 2016 (the one she created).
Carlson, who left Fox in April, has been critical of the United States’ backing for Ukraine since the Russian invasion in 2022, arguing that U.S. communities are suffering as a result of Congress’ commitment to spending billions of dollars on aid to Ukraine.
Supporters of Ukraine are helping the smaller country, a U.S. ally, to limit Russia’s influence and power in Europe.
The former Fox anchor defended the interview on Wednesday night, stating that people should watch it because many are unaware of the events developing between the two former Soviet countries.
“Two years into a war that’s reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed,” Carlson said in a video posted to X.
“They have no real idea what’s happening in this region.”

Carlson noted that he is not pushing people to “agree” with Putin, but rather to be better informed of Russia’s side of the battle, particularly why Putin initiated the assault.
We used to have a word for this…journalism.
The interview will take place in Russia and be shared on social media, but no release date has been set.
It will be the first interview given to U.S. media since the war began.
Carlson is already in Russia, although it is unclear if the interview has taken place.
