Tucker Carlson försvarar senatskandidat i Maine gällande nazisttatuering

Tucker Carlson medverkade i en kanadensisk podcast på torsdagen för att försvara den demokratiske senatskandidaten Graham Platner mot anklagelser kopplade till en tatuering med anknytning till den tyska militären.

Carlson, som talade i podcasten ”Can’t Be Censored” med programledarna Travis Dhanraj och Karman Wong, sade att tatueringen inte var en hakkorssymbol och att det var oklart om Platner kände till dess ursprung.

Han tillade att republikaner hade riktat in sig på Platner eftersom kandidaten var ”otillräckligt stöttande mot Israel.” Carlson meddelade även att han inte längre stödjer det republikanska partiet och kritiserade dess ledare, inklusive talman Mike Johnson.

Platner ställer upp som demokrat för att utmana den sittande republikanska senatorn Susan Collins i Maine.
