Tulsi Gabbard as Russian assets. The same Department of Justice <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/11\/16\/doj-whistleblower-documents-suggest-merrick-garland-lied-about-the-targeting-of-parents-as-domestic-terrorists\/\">targeted<\/a> parents last fall who made objections to race-based curriculums and integration of radical gender theory into schools as \u201cdomestic terrorists.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the DOJ, in the same way that it is setting up a task force to investigate oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin,\u201d said longtime substitute co-host Ana Navarro filling in for Sara Haines. \u201cThat\u2019s being, if you are a foreign asset of \u2014 to a dictator, it should be investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<p>Carlson and Gabbard\u2019s apparent crime? Public dissent to the media-manufactured consensus that American intervention in Ukraine risks a dangerous escalation contrary to U.S. interests. <\/p>\n<p>Navarro\u2019s radical suggestion went unchallenged on air, with no pushback even from the former Trump White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin, auditioning for the conservative chair left vacant by McCain. Griffin, however, now a CNN commentator, is no conservative crusader having capitalized on the media incentive to play the Republican who <a href=\"https:\/\/money.yahoo.com\/view-hosts-embarrass-former-trump-155607106.html\">attacks<\/a> other Republicans. <\/p>\n<p>In the absence of any repudiation of the idea that political dissidents be prosecuted by state actors, Whoopi Goldberg supported the approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey used to arrest people for doing stuff like this,\u201d Goldberg said. \u201cIf they thought you were colluding with a Russian agent, if they thought you were putting out information or taking information and handing it over to Russia, they used to actually investigate stuff like this. And I guess now, you know, there seems to be no bars.\u201d (It\u2019s unclear whether Goldberg was referring to the United States\u2019 unjust practice of rounding up Japanese Americans suspected of being foreign agents during World War II, or some other historical event.)<\/p>\n<p>Is there any evidence that Carlson or Gabbard were deliberately colluding with Russian agents to manipulate public opinion? If there was, the panel co-hosts amplifying a conspiracy theory <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2019\/10\/18\/hillary-clinton-engages-in-insane-conspiracy-theory-attacking-tulsi-gabbard\/\">promoted<\/a> by Hillary Clinton three years ago failed to offer any.
