Tucker Carlson has hit back at the hosts of The View after they called for him to face a Department of Justice investigation for highlighting the US government's funding of Ukrainian biolabs.
"I think DOJ, in the same way that is setting up a task force to investigate [Russian] oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin," host Ana Navarro said. "If you are a foreign asset to a dictator it should be investigated."
Whoopi Goldberg, another host, chimed in, saying, "they used to arrest people for doing stuff like this."
Speaking on his Fox News show Monday night, Carlson laughed off their remarks that he had been 'shilling' for Putin and Whoopi Goldberg's remark that 'They used to arrest people for stuff like this.'
He answered: Really? 'They used to arrest people for saying stuff like this.' When did they arrest people for saying stuff like this, and who is they exactly?'
'Over the weekend, CBS News reported that Pentagon officials have confirmed that these biolabs in Ukraine are, in fact, conducting research on anthrax and other "deadly pathogens."
