If you watch Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s show, he often seems to be a big fan of Russia and like Donald Trump, often sticks up for and defends Russian President Vladimir Putin.

So why is that?

Newsmax host Grant Stinchfield thinks he knows why.

Stinchfield thinks that Carlson is being forced to defend Putin because of his “liberal” bosses at Fox News.

Huh?

He said this:

“Fox News’ lurched to the left is maddening for nearly every conservative, including myself,” Stinchfield said on his show. “And I wonder now, if the leftist leaders of this Trojan horse of a so called conservative network has compromised Tucker Carlson. Now, Tucker is a man that I have absolute great respect for. The fact is Tucker and I agree on most issues, which is why I’m baffled by his defense of Russia’s Vladimir Putin. Unless of course, is Tucker operating under duress? Why else would he proclaim something like this about NATO and Vladimir Putin?”

Can someone get Grant Stinchfield his meds?
