Meanwhile on Russian state TV: Another translated clip of Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard, introduced by state TV host Vladimir Soloviev as "Our girlfriend Tulsi." After the clip plays, one panelist asks: "Is she some sort of a Russian agent?" The host quickly replies: "Yes."

Really? Elon Musk - who is just a libertarian billionaire - is very much part of Team Trump. VR is a standard right winger despite views on Ukraine. On foreign policy, there’s Walz and Rubio. Last time Trump was in charge, the wall didn’t get built but tax cuts for billionaires,…
