The Wrap reports:
Tucker Carlson said Tuesday that former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a staunch supporter of Ukraine’s defense against Russian invasion, agreed to an interview with the former Fox News host about it – for the price of $1 million.
“Finally an adviser gets back to me and said, ‘He will talk to you, but it’s going to cost you a million dollars.’ He wants a million in U.S. dollars, gold or bitcoin – this just happened yesterday or two days ago!” Carlson said to an audibly incredulous Beck.
“I said, ‘I just interviewed Vladimir Putin – I’m not defending Putin, but [he] didn’t ask me for a million dollars!’ So you’re telling me that Boris Johnson is a lot sleazier, a lot lower than Vladimir Putin. So this whole thing is a freaking shakedown.”
Sky News reports:
A spokesman for Mr Johnson said: “This account is untrue.” The former prime minister’s team said Mr Carlson had offered one million dollars for an interview on his channel.
Mr Johnson initially accepted, providing the money went solely to Ukrainian veteran charities, but decided not to go ahead with it after the death of Mr Navalny, which has been widely blamed on the Kremlin, they said.
It is the latest flare-up in a row between the pair after Mr Johnson used his Daily Mail column to brand Mr Carlson “a traitor to journalism” for his interview with the Russian president.
Tucker: “Boris Johnson calls me a tool of the Kremlin or something. So I put in a request for an interview with Boris Johnson. Finally one of his advisors gets back to me and says he will talk to you but it’s going to cost you a million dollars. He wants a million dollars.” pic.twitter.com/Y7qADbx2H4
