Tucker Carlson goes grocery shopping in Moscow

He proclaims himself “radicalized.”

Tucker Carlson clearly does not shop at Aldis.

You can tell by his look of sheer wonder when he slips a 10-rouble coin into a cart at a Moscow branch of the French grocery retailer ‘Auchan,’ and realizes he’ll get it back at the end of the shop.

“So it’s free…but there’s an incentive to return it,” he says.

He wanders the aisles checking out bananas, sniffing loaves of bread and groaning in pleasure, trying to figure out if he’s holding a bag of flour or sugar, picking out a bottle of wine produced in (illegally annexed) Crimea, pointing out that Russian consumers can even buy Snickers bars.

Before checking out, he and his team looked at the comically small haul of food meant to represent a week’s food for a family of four and tried to guess what the same cart would cost in the US.

“We all came in around 400 bucks,” he said…which seems like a wild over-estimation based on what can be seen in the cart.

To his shock, the price came to 9481.37 roubles — or just $104 in US currency.

Carlson proclaimed himself “radicalized” by his shopping experience.

“If you take people’s standard of living and you tank it through filth and crime and inflation, and they literally can’t buy the groceries they want,” he said. “Maybe it matters less whether you’re a ‘good’ person or a ‘bad’ person. You’re wrecking people’s lives. That’s what our leaders have done.”

‘My husband can’t live without sausages!’

What Carlson fails to mention — or, more likely, didn’t bother to learn — is that the median monthly salary for Russians these days is 43,500 RUB. That’s just $630 a month.

Pretend you’re a mom in Moscow with a spouse and two young kids. You and your husband both earn the median salaries. That would be roughly $1,260 a month or $315 a week.
