Putin's decision was driven by Carlson being an anti-Ukrainian propagandist, aligning with the dictator's agenda, Clinton said commenting on the ongoing media debates regarding the ethical considerations of providing Putin a platform to spread his lies to a multi-million audience of U.S. residents.

"He is what is called a ‘useful idiot,’” she said.

“If you actually read translations of what is being said in the Russian media, they make fun of him. I mean, he's like a puppy dog.”
