Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is getting heat from conservatives over a recent interview he did with a very polarizing individual.
Tucker sat down and conducted a two-and-a-half-hour interview with Andrew Tate who is currently facing human trafficking charges overseas.
the interview has gone viral but conservatives are not happy.
Erik Erickson said, “Tate is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking, and forming an organized crime group to sexually exploit women. Are you an Andrew Tate right winger or a Sound of Freedom right winger. You can’t really be both.”

American Spectator editor Ben Domenech also condemned the former host.
““Tucker devotes his first lengthy interview to a sex trafficking woman abusing fraud,” Domenech said. “Not going to waste 2.5 hours of my life on these two, can someone tell me if Tucker asked Tate his opinion of Sound of Freedom.”

Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross said that the interview timing was tone deaf considering the release of the “Sound of Freedom.”
Some conservatives are defending a movie about a guy who helps sex trafficking victims, other conservatives are hyping Andrew Tate.

A month before being taken off the air Carlson defended Tate over the human trafficking charges. Tucker said that Tate was a victim of a “set-up” and called his detention “the definition of a human rights violation.”
So what do you think? Was the timing bad? Should Tucker have not done the video? Love to read your thoughts in the comments.
