Fox News\/YouTube Tucker Carlson explained Thursday night why his show didn&#8217;t see Russia&#8217;s attack on Ukraine coming. He claimed that Kamala Harris being involved in pre-war diplomacy marked it as a low-grade issue. The argument comes after weeks of Carlson defending Putin and Russia before the invasion of Ukraine. Fox News star Tucker Carlson admitted on Thursday that he misjudged Russia&#8217;s war on Ukraine &#8212; but placed the blame on Vice President Kamala Harris. It came after Carlson broadcast a report by correspondent Benjamin Harris about the Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine, which prompted international concern about nuclear safety. Carlson asked how his show didn&#8217;t &#8220;see this coming.&#8221; &#8220;The situation appears to become more chaotic by the day, possibly even spinning out of control,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And that, we must be honest, is shocking to us.
