They mistake a false publication for a message from Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. The message is not real, as it was published by an account that seeks to impersonate the identity of Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocsey.
The false claim refers to the Russian president's interview with Carlson on February 8 – the leader's first interview with an American journalist since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Putin told Carlson that Russia has failed to achieve its war goals in its widely condemned invasion of neighboring Ukraine, and began the interview with a 20-minute history speech.
