Pamela Anderson offered a vigorous defense of Julian Assange and Russia Tuesday evening, telling Fox News host Tucker Carlson that she often jokes about U.S-Russia tensions at the Kremlin where she apparently speaks often.
Everyone likes to blame Russia when anything goes wrong in America and Ive spoken at the Kremlin many times and the last time I was there, there was something happening and the first thing they say to me is oh what have we done wrong this time, said Anderson.
America likes to blame them for everything, said the actress, who also called the accusations that Assange and Putin had collaborated to throw the 2016 U.S. presidential election to Trump crazy.

Anderson explained that she traveled to Russia frequently as part of her work with animal rights and that Putin was very concerned about the issue.
As for the WikiLeaks chief now under house arrest in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London? Anderson said Assange was just a misunderstood soul.
Assange is just an incredible person. If you read anything that his mother says about him thats kind of an interesting source to go to hes always been like this. Since a child, hes been worried about doing the right thing. And I think hes very brave.

Assange Sweden six years ago following rape accusations and has avoided deportation to that country or potentially the United States by hiding out with the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Once lauded by liberals as a free speech advocate exposing government secrets, Assange became a lightning rod for his role in releasing emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta.
It is known that the RNC was also hacked during the same period, but the files were never released.

Megyn Kelly calls Trump out on womenTrump famously feuded former anchor Kelly after she asked him a tough question at a Republican primary debate about derogatory statements he's made about women. Trump took it personally, judging by his response on Twitter and in interviews. He later famously said Kelly must have had "blood coming out of her wherever" regarding the question. Watch the debate question here.
Kelly to Trump: "Facts matter"Trump kept hammering at Kelly on Twitter and elsewhere. When he called her out for not using the IBT poll when he was leading the Republican primary field, Kelly rebuked him with a tweet showing she did use the poll. "Facts matter," she wrote.
Fox mocksTrumpwith statement on debate skippingpollAfter polled his Twitter followers to see ifhe should drop out of a Fox-hosted Republican primary debate,Fox responded artfully with a sarcastic statement that it had learnedfrom "secret" sources Trump might be treated unfairly as president by foreign leaders.
Bill O'Reilly calls out Trump's tweet with totally wrong stats"The O'Reilly Factor" grilled Trump in a Nov. 2015 interview about his tweet that erroneously said black people killed whites at a rate of 81 percent, while whites kill blacks at a rate of 15 percent.O'Reilly told Trump, "You shouldn't tweet." Trump did not take that advice.
Chris Wallace bucks Trump calling media "enemy of the public"After his press conference in January 2017, Trump continued his attack on media he doesn't like on Twitter. Anchor ChrisWallace wasn't having it on "Fox & Friends." Wallace said Trump's comments "crossed an important line" and said they were dangerous.
Wallace says the media is too easy on TrumpIn an interview with TheWrap, Wallace said he thinks Sunday political shows in particular should be tougher on Trump."I think if anything, the media has treated him too well.By that I mean theyve allowed him to play by different rules." Read the full interview.
O'Reilly tells Trump Putin is "a killer"In a February interview, O'Reilly brought up Trump's apparent refusal to criticize Vladimir Putin, calling the Russian president "a killer." Trump famously responded by saying, "What, you think our country is so innocent?" Watch it here.
Smith wails on Trump's refusal to talk about Russia hacksNobody on Fox hits Trump harder than Shep Smith. "We have a right to know You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking questions on behalf of the American people." Watch it here.
Neil Cavuto tells Trump he's problem, not mainstream mediaResponding to Trump's tweet claiming the mainstream media wants him off social media, Cavuto called out Trump for losing track of his own agenda. "Mr. President, it is not the fake news media that's your problem, it's you," Cavuto said. Watch it here.
Smith blasts Trump administration on Russia: "Lie after lie after lie"Shep Smith was at it again following the news breaking about Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer. He took the Trump administration to task for its many lies about meetings with Russia, including Jared Kushner failing to report the meeting on his security clearance forms. "My grandmother used to say, 'What a tangled web we weave when first we try to deceive,'" Smith declared on air, leaving fellow anchor Chris Wallace speechless. Watch it here.
Trumps favorite network has pushed back a few times
