Tucker Carlson recently made his way into the headlines after his video from his recent Russian grocery store visit went viral. As Tucker Carlson visited Moscow to interview Russian President Vladimir Putin, he went shopping in a local supermarket, where he was seemingly surprised by the prices of the goods.
Tucker Carlson filled his cart with a lot of things, including bread, fruits, and wine. He explained how he bought a week’s grocery for $104. He started by saying how he “went from amused to legitimately angry,” and said:
"If you take people's standard of living and you tank it through filth and crime and inflation. And they literally can't buy the groceries they want. At that point, maybe it matters less what you say or whether you are a good person or a bad person.”
"You're wrecking people's lives and their country, and that's what their leaders have done to us. And coming to a Russian grocery store, the heart of evil. And seeing what things cost and how people live, will radicalize you against our leaders. That's how I feel, anyway—radicalized."
He then compared the prices to the US market and stated how this much grocery would cost $400 in the US easily. However, as soon as the video went viral on social media, it sparked massive outrage among people, as many bashed and mocked him. One social media user also commented and said:
