'Not on the scale that the North Koreans do, but a lot of countries commit atrocities, including a number that we're closely allied with,' Tucker Carlson said.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson defended President Donald Trump's friendly rapport with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un — whose government has been accused of severe human rights violations — by claiming that other countries, including American allies, also"commit atrocities."
on Saturday."While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello!"Sunday, co-host Pete Hegseth asked Carlson, who was touring with the president, whether he believed Trump and Kim shared a"sincere" relationship. Co-host Jebediah Bila then pointed out that Trump's friendly relationship with Kim —"someone who has been responsible for so many human rights abuses" — makes"some people nervous."
"It's just kind of the nature of life, and certainly the nature of power," Carlson concluded."And I do think that's how the president sees it. He's, you know, far less sentimental about this stuff, and maybe, I think more realistic about him."
