‘Remember, you’re listening to Vladimir Putin, and you shouldn’t take at face value anything he has to say,’ Kirby said.
Americans watching Tucker Carlson’s interview with Vladimir Putin shouldn’t be swayed by the Russian president’s arguments criticizing the Ukraine war effort, warned Biden National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications John Kirby.
Speaking to reporters at a White House briefing Thursday, Kirby was asked whether the administration was worried Tucker’s interview could hurt Americans’ support for the war in Ukraine.
“The American people know well who’s at fault here? And I think they know that there was no ground whatsoever for the Invasion on February 22nd two years ago,” Kirby said.

“He invaded a neighboring country without provocation. Ukraine wasn’t a threat to anybody, and the American people understand that, and the American people understand what Ukraine’s fighting for. And all they’re asking for is our help. They’re not asking for American boots on the ground,” he continued.
The Biden national security adviser added the interview likely won’t change peoples’ minds on the matter, and that anything said by the Russian president should be dismissed.
“Again, I don’t think the American people are going to be swayed by one single interview. And I think anybody that watches that interview – again, I haven’t seen – whatever said, need to make sure you’re – remember, you’re listening to Vladimir Putin, and you shouldn’t take at face value anything he has to say,” Kirby said.
The NSC spokesman’s effort to downplay the significance of the interview, the first with Putin since the war started, shows the establishment is frantically panicking they’re going to lose control of the narrative.
The Deep State also trotted out Democrat operative Hillary Clinton to smear Tucker as a “useful idiot” ahead of the interview, further illustrating the globalists fear it will expose the lies and facts behind the conflict.
