On Tuesday, Tucker Carlson made a striking claim about Boris Johnson, the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. According to Carlson, Johnson demanded a staggering $1 million for an interview.
This came to light during Carlson’s recount of events surrounding his attempt to secure an interview with the former UK Prime Minister. Carlson, who was in Moscow for a scheduled interview with Putin, conveyed his frustration over being publicly criticized by Johnson, who accused him of being a “tool of the Kremlin.”
In an effort to confront the accusations directly, Carlson sought an interview with Johnson, only to be met with a demand for $1 million in US dollars, gold, or Bitcoin. Carlson’s attempt to interview Johnson was motivated by a series of public denunciations from Johnson.
“So, he attacks me without explaining how I’m wrong, of course, or how he’s right,” Carlson explained. “This is, by the way, the guy who, single-handedly, at the request of the US government, stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago and is, I think, for that reason, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.”
