Looks like Tucker Carlson is inserting himself into the GQP. Including fights over Russia vs Ukraine. It will be interesting to see whether he takes over the party, or if it rejects him as an invasive parasite:

Timothy Snyder:
I talk to quite a few Republicans who say and do exactly the right things regarding Ukraine. But an underlying source of the [power struggle] you mention is media.
