A figure who rose to prominence in Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial is lashing out at Fox News host Tucker Carlson after the latter name-checked him during a segment on Ukraine and Russia.
Lt Col Alexander Vindman tore into the Fox host in a pair of tweets that furiously accused Carlson of trying to weaken the US and the west while spreading pro-Russian propaganda. The comments came amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and days of remarks from Carlson questioning the legitimacy of Ukraine’s government and Nato’s positions while he and other pro-Trump conservatives (including the former president himself) have heaped praise on Russia’s leader.
