Tucker Carlson Spars With GOP Rep Over Ukraine: ‘I’m Not Going to Take the Anti-Communist Lecture’

Things got heated when Fox News host Tucker Carlson asked Rep. Maria Salazar (R-Fla.) about her views about what steps the U.S. should take to help 🇺🇦Ukraine.

Carlson played a clip of the Congresswoman appearing to voice support for a no-fly zone over 🇺🇦Ukraine despite the possibility that such a move could lead to a war with Russia.

Salazar appeared on Carlson’s show Wednesday night to discuss her position.

“So, since you have called for war with Russia, how do you think that war, once it begins, would play out?” Carlson asked.

Salazar responded, “I think that’s a hypothetical question. I think that we should concentrate, Tucker, on what Zelenskyy asked Congress today.”

However, the host pushed back and claimed that she said the U.S. “should” shoot down Russian planes and essentially called for war with Russia.

“I didn’t say that,” Salazar shot back.

When Carlson argued that is what she said in the video, Salazar said the clip was “taken out of context.”

She explained that she believes the U.S. should not take the possibility of implementing a no-fly zone off the table and that it should send 🇺🇦Ukraine
