When you lose Newsmax

John Fea   |  February 27, 2022 Leave a Comment

The right-wing pro-Trump network is condemning Father Coughlin’s Tucker Carlson’s pro-Putin/Russia comments.

Here is Alex Griffing at Mediaite:

Newsmax released a statement on Friday calling out Fox News and Tucker Carlson for “supporting Putin and Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine.”

The right-wing, pro-Trump Newsmax taking a swing at Fox News is nothing new for the network, but the new statement comes in the wake of Carlson’s controversial comments that critics have decried as being pro-Putin.

The Friday statement, issued by Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy to media blog The Righting for a report on how the network is covering the invasion of Ukraine, explicitly condemned Carlson:

Newsmax believes Russia has made a major transgression and this should be condemned strongly by all people. I think we are seeing for conservatives a clarity moment where Fox News’ main host is stating categorically he is siding with Putin and Russia in support of the invasion. Newsmax supports President Biden’s efforts to stop this invasion, if anything we think he is not being strong enough. We believe there is a bipartisan consensus in opposition to this dangerous aggression.
