Darryl Cooper, the historian deemed by Tucker Carlson to be the “best and most honest” in the U.S., appears to have a strange fondness for Adolf Hitler.
Cooper recently joined Carlson on an episode of The Tucker Carlson Show. During their conversation, Cooper claimed that Winston Churchill was the “chief villain” of World War II because he “was primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did.” He also claimed that the Holocaust was some kind of unintended consequence of Germany being “completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war.” According to Cooper, millions “ended up dead” because there was no food to feed them and German soldiers decided it was “more humane to just finish them off quickly.”
Based on his social media activity, that whitewashing of the atrocities of the Holocaust isn’t out of the ordinary for Cooper. In a now-deleted tweet from late July, he appeared to claim that scenes of Nazi-occupied France — specifically, a photo of Hitler before the Eiffel Tower — were “preferable” when compared to the scenes of the Olympic opening ceremony in Paris.
“This may be putting it too crudely for some,” he said, “but the picture on the left was infinitely preferable in virtually every way than the one on the right.”
[Hitler in Paris was on the left, the Olympics' opening tableau on the right.]
The month before, he posted a bizarre tweet suggesting that the shooter who tried to assassinate Donald Trump went to Hell and Hitler did not.
"Yes, Tucker's favorite historian is pretty open about being a Hitler guy, and he believes the Allies were on the wrong side of WWII.

[Cooper's tweet: "If you're having a bad day, just remember that Trump's shooter is wandering around Hell looking for Hitler while the two guys dropped by Kyle Rittenhouse figure out how to break the news to him."]
In another tweet from June 2023, Cooper responded to someone arguing Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini were prime examples that “centralization of power is never a good idea.” Cooper replied with several screenshots of Wikipedia entries of civil wars across the world, claiming “a thousand years of tyranny is preferable to a single day of anarchy.”
"Here are but a few examples where centralized power would’ve been very welcome. As the Arab proverb goes, a thousand years of tyranny is preferable to a single day of anarchy. https://t.co/3LnMNphysn pic.twitter.com/RKLhaJzRQV

By the way, I'd never heard if Cooper till today, but then I don't follow Carlson despite him being very popular. I did listen to the podcast so I can attest to the quotes being accurate.
One can be disgusted at the Olympics, angry at the gunman, and appalled at anarchy without finding in Hitler and tyranny attractive alternatives. Someone presenting himself as a historian could be expected to have a more judicious choice of words.
What’s with the hitpieces on Tucker Carlson, NeverTrumper?
Carlson’s deep state.
Tucker has good judgment. That doesn't mean he agrees with his guests all the time.
Headline of the article starts out by invoking Godwin’s Law.
They’re just clutching their pearls when someone says Hitler wasn’t satan on earth.
At any rate, I’ve already watched the interview and Cooper was making some salient points about Churchill (I’ve read his History of the second world war and his Frontiers and wars). Basically, he was just saying that the Germans didn’t pick Hitler out of the blue and there were reasons for how they thought.
Are you paid by Neville Roy Singham to pretend to be conservative and pro-Trump to propagandize for Putin and Chicoms?
Too bad the Lefties didn't work as hard on the words "Stalin" or "Commies".
You appear to be brain-dead for free...
I found it disturbing the historian swept Iran and China’s aggressive behavior under the rug. Both nations have declared war on us.
Tucker apparently smokes Dorkbama’s pot.
Tucker would be wise to steer clear of people like that.
I suspect Carlson had him on to present an uncommon view of Hitler. Hitler is made out to be the worst of the left so that nobody take a good look at communism to see that fascism and communism are the same thing, except they differ on the nature of the bureaucracy. Fascism believes in using private enterprise to generate wealth that can be taxed and redistribution and communism believes in owning everything for the good of the people.
LOL!
Here’s me just today “propagandizing for the ChiComs”...

I would have to see what Tucker said to that.
And the Communist rulers volunteer to be "good stewards" of the nice dachas and piles of off-shore cash.
Mediate.....

What more do you need to know about Hitler?
“I have issued the command – and I’ll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad – that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy... Accordingly, I have placed my death’s-head formation in readiness…with orders to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women and children of Polish derivation and language.” he added. “Only thus shall we gain the living space we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”
-Hitler to his Generals on the eve of his invasion of Poland in 1939
Sounds like he is just recycling the same revisionist BS that has been going around in certain circles for decades.
