Tucker Carlson called Boris Johnson a ‘terrified old woman’
- Tucker Carlson has ignited a feud with former UK prime minister Boris Johnson, calling him a ‘coward’
- Johnson said he was amazed and horrified by how many people were ‘intimidated by’ the Fox News host
Fox News host Tucker Carlson and former British prime minister Boris Johnson are feuding.
During his show on Wednesday, Carlson accused Johnson of being afraid of going on Fox News to answer questions about his support for Ukraine.
“We knew that Johnson himself was a coward,” Carlson said. “We watched during Covid as he transitioned into a terrified old woman, but we had no idea he was also a liar. We should have known.”
Carlson’s ire may have been stoked by comments Johnson made earlier that day. During a panel discussion with the Atlantic Council, Johnson accused Carlson of influencing “wonderful Republicans” with anti-Ukraine rhetoric.
“I’ve been amazed and horrified by how many people are frightened of a guy called Tucker Carlson,” Johnson said.
“Has anybody heard of Tucker Carlson? What is it with this guy? All these wonderful Republicans seem somehow intimidated by his perspective,” Johnson said. He added that he was “struck by” how often Carlson’s name came up in conversations.
“Bad ideas are getting into, starting to infect the thinking around the world about what Putin stands for, what he believes in, it’s a disaster,” Johnson added. “He stands for war, aggression, systematic murder, rape, and destruction. That’s what he stands for.”
