Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has criticized conservative commentator Tucker Carlson for playing a role in undermining support for sending military aid to Ukraine. McConnell believes Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Fox News earlier this year gave Putin a platform to spread disinformation and convinced many Republicans that providing assistance to Ukraine was a mistake. McConnell’s comments reflect growing concerns among some Republicans about the influence of Russian propaganda in conservative media and within their party.
