Tucker Carlson has accused the Canadian media of being a mouthpiece for Justin Trudeau and says they 'trotted out some attack lines borrowed from CNN and NBC News' to smear the truckers protesting the Prime Minister's vaccine mandates.

On Tucker Carlson Tonight on Monday, the Fox News host criticized the Canadian leader for not meeting with the truckers.

'"So I'll meet with the people at a rally as long as I agree with their goals, as long as they agree with me, it's totally fine, like Black Lives Matter,"' Tucker said, imitating Trudeau. 'You get the sense even someone as dim as Justin Trudeau realizes this is not a winning argument. He needed his friends in state media to help.'

Carlson added: 'So they trotted out some attack lines against the truckers - lines they borrowed directly from CNN and NBC News here in the States.

'So here's Canada's state broadcaster inventing a claim, out of nothing, that Vladimir Putin himself may be responsible for this trucker convoy.'

He then played a clip from CBC of host Nil Koksal saying there is concern Russian actors 'could be continuing to fuel things, as this protest grows, perhaps even instigating it from the outset', given Canada's support for Ukraine. 

Carlson also slammed Trudeau as a 'tyrant', saying the Canadian Prime Minister 'used COVID to short circuit democracy and to end organized Christianity' in Canada, as 'Freedom Convoy' truckers continue to protest.

'There's no more fearful despot in the world than Justin Trudeau of Canada,' Carlson said.
