Boris Johnson accuses Tucker Carlson of being “a tool of the Kremlin,” then tries to extort him for $1M

Former prime minister of Great Britain Boris Johnson had a meltdown when he heard about Tucker Carlson’s interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, prompting him to accuse Carlson of being “a tool of the Kremlin.”

During a recent appearance with Glenn Beck, Carlson explained how the whole thing went down after landing in Moscow and awaiting his meeting with one of the most controversial figures on the world stage.

“So I’m over in Moscow, I’m waiting to do this interview, it gets out that we’re doing it, and I’m immediately denounced by this guy called Boris Johnson,” Carlson told Beck.

“And Boris Johnson calls me ‘a tool of the Kremlin’ or something … so I put in a request for an interview with [Johnson], because he’s constantly denouncing me.”

It turns out that one of Johnson’s advisers – Johnson’s real name is actually Alex Johnson – got back to Carlson saying Johnson has agreed to the interview, but only if Carlson agrees to pay Johnson $1 million for the privilege – watch the clip below:

Support for Ukraine is money laundering

Carlson denied Johnson’s extortionary requested, though proceeded to invite Johnson a second time to join him but for free, but to no avail.

“This is the guy, by the way, who at the request of the U.S. government stopped the peace deal in Ukraine a year and a half ago, and is for that reason responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people,” Carlson explained to Beck.

“I said, ‘I just interviewed Vladimir Putin – I’m not defending Putin, but [he] didn’t ask me for a million dollars!’ So you’re telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier, a lot lower than Vladimir Putin. So this whole thing is a freaking shakedown.”

Like many, Carlson does not appear to support any more infusions of U.S. taxpayer cash to Ukraine, the latest amounting to a whopping $60 billion.

“This is a money laundering operation,” Carlson explained. “A lot of people involved are making money off of it, and if you’re making money off of war, you can deal with God on that because that’s really immoral.”

Keep in mind that it was Johnson who started all the bickering by accusing Carlson of being a Russian spy. And when Carlson invited Johnson onto his show to clear things up, Johnson refused unless Carlson agreed to pay him $1 million or the equivalent amount in Bitcoin.

“Boris basically tried to extort Tucker for $1 million to, in effect, ‘take back’ his slander of Tucker as a Russian asset?” asked someone on X about the situation. “All these people are corrupt and evil.”

“Boris Johnson will forever go down as the individual who blocked the peace process that will eventually start WWIII,” wrote another.

“Boris Johnson must think he’s a hot commodity,” replied the Right Angle News Network. “If anyone is a tool, it’s this guy for thinking he’s that important that you would need to spend a million dollars just to speak with him.”

“They don’t want peace – they want war!” wrote another.
