Fox News star host Tucker Carlson pounded away at former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson after the latter said he was “horrified” at Carlson’s “bad ideas.”

Speaking at the Atlantic Council in Washington on Wednesday, Johnson blasted Carlson for pushing back against U.S. support for Ukraine in its ongoing war with Russia.

“I’ve been appalled to discover how many people – I’ve just been here for a couple days and it’s been wonderful… I always have a wonderful time in Washington. But I’ve been amazed and horrified by how many people are frightened by a guy named Tucker Carlson,” Johnson said. “Has anybody heard of a guy named Tucker Carlson? What is it with this guy?”

“Bad ideas are starting to infect some of the thinking around the world about what Putin stands for,” he added.

Less than a day prior to Johnson’s comments, Carlson said he had invited the former prime minister to his show to explain why Western countries should continue arming Ukraine.

“At one point he considered coming on this show to make his case,” Carlson claimed. “Boris Johnson is a famously erudite and articulate man. If there’s one person in politics who might be able to explain how a third world war against Russia might conceivably strengthen the West and not just further empower China, it would probably be Boris Johnson.”

Carlson had a different perspective on Boris Johnson on Wednesday night.

“All these cowards in Washington are afraid of this show, Boris Johnson said derisively,” Carlson stated. “Yet, somehow he never mentioned that he is one of them. Again, we had just invited Johnson on this show hours before he said that. It was remarkable and remarkably dishonest. We knew that Johnson himself was a coward. We watched during Covid as he transitioned into a terrified old woman, but we had no idea he was also a liar.”
