A "Fox News" journalist, Tucker Carlson, criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his visit to the USA.

Carlson ironically commented on the words of historian Michael Beschloss, who criticised those who did not applaud Zelensky in Congress.

"Why aren't you clapping for a man who banned a Christian denomination, a man who arrested priests, raided monasteries, seized churches, outlawed opposition media, outlawed the political parties that oppose him, threw his primary political opponents in jail? Why don't you applaud such a man?" Tucker Carlson sarcastically asks on behalf of Beschloss.

Earlier Carlson said there is no justification for the destruction and banning of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church.
