 In a statement to the New York Times, Carlson said, quote, it is horrifying what happened to Navalny. The whole thing is barbaric and awful. No decent person would defend it. You didn't talk about freedom of speech in Russia. You did not talk about Navalny, about assassinations. I have spent my life talking to people who run countries in various countries and have concluded the following, that every leader kills people, including my leader. Putin's a killer. A lot of killers. You get a lot of killers. Why do you think our country is so innocent? This is who you want to hand the country to. These are the people who should govern. These are the people who should set the course for the country. God help us.
