Fox News correspondent Geraldo Rivera cursed out the Atlantic columnist David Frum, who had attacked the network for being obsessed with Russia.
“F— Russia and f— you. I don’t have any infatuation. You’re the smitten one, obsessed with Fox,” Rivera tweeted on Sunday afternoon. His tweet was in response to a tweet from Frum, in which he referenced his appearance on CNN’s Sunday show Reliable Sources, where he discussed Fox News’s “infatuation” with Russia. He also labeled those positive feelings toward Russia to being the Zionism of white nationals.
Frum was critical of Fox News prime-time anchor Tucker Carlson, who made headlines recently for suggesting that the United States should side with Russia instead of Ukraine in that conflict. “I think we should probably take the side of Russia if we have to choose between Russia and Ukraine,” he said on his show.
“Could any of these people actually tell you why Vladimir Putin is so bad?” Carlson added. “Why is he so bad? … What makes Vladimir Putin worse than, I don’t know, a whole long list of American allies?”
Carlson also walked back comments last night after saying he was “rooting for Russia.”
