Kari Lake: 'Americans deserve the truth — let's see what Putin has to say'

Kari Lake, an Arizona Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, defended Tucker Carlson's expected interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

During an appearance on Real America's Voice on Wednesday, Lake suggested Calrson and Putin would give Americans the truth about the war in Ukraine.

"And what we're seeing with shows like yours, Jack, and Real America's Voice and some of these others we've mentioned, and Tucker is an entire interview," Lake told host Jack Posobiec. "But you can then watch the interview as it played out and make your own assessment of the facts."

"And this is the problem with nobody being willing to interview Putin," she continued. "Or if they did, we know it would be some slanted piece. Tucker's gonna go in there. And I have no doubt in my mind he asked tough questions."

Lake said Americans "deserve to have answers" about aid provided for Ukraine to fight a Russian invasion.

"All of that and none of us in America are able to find out what Russia's stance on this whole thing is," she remarked. "We only can get what the fake news wants to tell us."

"I'm old enough to handle the truth," Lake added. "And I think everybody else is. And Americans deserve the truth. Let's see what Putin has to say."

"Because I don't want to see one more penny of our money going into a war that's already being lost. I wanna hear what's happening."
