Russian President Putin expressed his disappointment with conservative journalist Tucker Carlson’s interviewing tactics, claiming he was unprepared for the conversation. Putin complained that he wished Carlson had been more aggressive and asked tougher questions, which would have given him the chance to respond sharply and add specificity to the conversation. The Russian leader, known for his lengthy monologues, even seemed taken aback when Carlson patiently listened to his explanation of Eastern European history dating back to the Middle Ages, which lasted more than 30 minutes. Putin lamented that Carlson did not allow him to showcase his prepared responses.
Additionally, Putin disclosed his dissatisfaction with the overall interview, stating that he did not fully enjoy it. He then shared his perspective on the 2024 U.S. election, suggesting that a Biden victory would be more favorable for Russia compared to a potential return of former President Donald Trump. Putin remarked that Biden is more experienced and predictable, dubbing him an “old school politician.” Despite his preferential stance, Putin noted that he would work with any U.S. president whom the American people have confidence in.

Putin’s sentiments echo the disappointment of many conservatives who had hoped for a more confrontational and hard-hitting interview from Carlson. They also reflect the unease within conservative circles about the potential return of Trump in 2024, as Putin’s comments hint at a preference for Biden’s leadership. This insight from the Russian leader underscores the need for conservatives to closely scrutinize the motives and actions of both domestic and international figures, especially as the 2024 election approaches.
