Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson's debut on Twitter was met with widespread criticism. Carlson pledged to use Twitter as a platform for unfiltered views, bypassing mainstream media. Carlson’s video received over 65 million views by Wednesday, and Twitter categorically denied his claims about Ukraine and the Kakhovka dam. Carlson’s first show on Twitter also prompted criticism and ridicule. Carlson’s debut video earned over 50 million views and was praised by Catturd, an anonymous Twitter account known for “shitposting” right-wing views.
