NEW: CNN is fuming that journalist Tucker Carlson is doing journalism in Russia instead of spewing propaganda like CNN.

Carlson was spotted in Russia this weekend as speculation swirls that he interviewed Vladimir Putin.

CNN is livid.

“Putin is trying to court the MAGA GOP in the United States. In fact, one of the leaders of the MAGA GOP is in Moscow tonight.”

“It's the man you see here with the MAGA leader, Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, possibly there in Moscow to interview Putin, definitely there as a Putin supporting celebrity.”

Cry more.
