Tucker Carlson says Israel pushed him to report false allegations against Hunter Biden

Carlson said that the false allegation about abuse of minors was a product of Israel’s misinformation campaign and was falsely attributed by former US intelligence officials to Russian propaganda.

“They (Israel) were behind it," Carlson said. ”I felt like everybody in Washington knew it, but there was so much pressure not to criticise Israel in any way that they just said, 'It's the Russians, it's the Russians'.”

"Maybe the Russians had a hand in it, but it was the Israelis who were pushing that fact," Carlson said. ”Fact, I mean literally [pushing it] to me.”

There is no evidence that Hunter abused minors. The former US president's son has long acknowledged the videos, texts and photos showing him engaging in drug and sex acts.

Is he confessing to defamation ?

There will never be any honor gained from his feeble attempts at honesty. This is just more political theater designed to position himself in a lifeboat on the sinking ship. I hope he swims with the fishes.

Seppuku (切腹, lit. 'cutting [the] belly'), also called harakiri (腹切り, lit. 'abdomen/belly cutting', a native Japanese kun reading), is a form of Japanese ritualistic suicide by disembowelment. It was originally reserved for samurai in their code of honor, but was also practiced by other Japanese people during the Shōwa era[1][2] (particularly officers near the end of World War II) to restore honor for themselves or for their families.[3][4][5]

It’s not too late Tucker, reclaim your honor.

Just because Tucker is an asshole doesn’t mean it isn’t true
