The vocal panel from “The View” wants Tucker Carlson investigated by the Justice Department over recent comments about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Hill reports:

“I think DOJ, in the same way that is setting up a task force to investigate [Russian] oligarchs, should look into people who are Russian propagandists and shilling for Putin,” host Ana Navarro said. “If you are a foreign asset to a dictator it should be investigated.”

Navarro’s assertion came amid a discussion about an article in Mother Jones this week outlining a reportedly leaked memo from the Kremlin that suggested it is “essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson,” as part of its propaganda efforts during the invasion of Ukraine.

Carlson, Fox’s top-rated host, has drawn criticism for his comments about Putin and the war in Ukraine. The panel also hit former Democrat presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard for her comments on Ukraine.

“I even hate that we’re discussing it. I think to myself, who is this woman? She’s no longer in Congress … the fact that we’re giving her oxygen is what makes her relevant,” Navarro said of Gabbard. “On the other hand, how do you not call out something that is repeating false Russian propaganda and has been brought down?”

Whoopi Goldberg chimed in adding that similar behavior used to warrant a full-blown investigation.

“If they thought that you were colluding with a Russian agent, if they thought you were putting out information … they used to actually investigate stuff like this,” Goldberg said. “I guess now there seems to be no bars and people are not being told to hate Putin, Putin doesn’t need a reason to be hated … it’s pretty much clear.”
