Tucker Carlson’s Favorite Historian Has Repeatedly Suggested Hitler Wasn’t So Bad

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

I had (past tense) great respect for Pat Buchanan. But then Buchanan made kind of the same argument. Even though Chamberlain was prime minister at the time, Buchanan blames Churchill for not letting Hitler just have Poland.

After all, Hitler had no territorial ambitions past Austria. Oops, I mean past Czechoslovakia. Oops, I meant past Poland.

I ever said that Hitler was a good guy. I said he is used by the left to take away focus on what the communists did. Hitler murdered upwards of 10 million people. However, Stalin murdered a minimal of 60 million people. Mao murdered 100 million people. Pol Pot murdered about 1/15 of the population.

But the left does not want their actions in Russia, China, Cambodia, and others looked at too closely, so they ramp up Hitler’s evil deeds.

We know you won’t be voting for Trump, since you’re idol endorsed his opponent.

I was planning to watch this podcast Lai. I suspect Mediate is distorting or putting things out of context. Tucker is a big target for the Left as he questions their narrative.

As a Historian, Cooper is supposed to comment on factual information. On the facts, he’s correct. The RAF began bombing German cities on the 16th of April 1939. The German Blitz of Britain did not begin until well over a year later.

What’s with the hitpieces on Tucker Carlson, NeverTrumper?

Nonetheless the premise of this one appears to be accurate. Tucker Carlson should choose another historian to endorse...or none at all vs. this one. Otherwise he could be said to be a "hit piece" unto himself. Then again perhaps it could all be blamed on the aliens...

When a media corporation fires its host who had the highest viewership in the entire industry, you know he values his principles and reputation above all else.

America needs al lot more people like Tucker.

Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater, Ronald Reagan, Bush 41 and 43, and even Donald Trump, who has a Jewish son-in-law have been called Hitler—so maybe Hitler wasn’t so bad.

Hitler was horrible. You don’t have to be a Churchill fan to see that.
