As Tucker Carlson faces backlash for airing a friendly interview with a Holocaust revisionist on his online show this week, some prominent Republicans are publicly raising concerns about the far-right pundit’s influential position in former President Donald Trump’s inner circle — as he increasingly imports extreme views and fringe conspiracy theories into party discourse.

very true…winning country uses socialist taxes to finance the military…the taxes only grow once they are introduced
A few days ago, Tucker interviewed Mike Benz about censorship, and the conversation touched on Ukraine, the propaganda apparatus involving the State Department, Pentagon, and NGOs to suppress populist movements around the world. I think that is what has them in wad with Tucker Carlson. This is to discredit him.
The names provided were not prominent. Geesh, This article is BS.
n00b, you need to find another place other than here. Kamala has a website you know.
IBTZ.
This is my own experience with Tucker and while he does show some semblance of normalcy.
However, when I recall ALL THE TIMES I THOUGHT WE WERE ON THE SAME PAGE...all of a sudden, he says or does something that completely obliterates everything he was championing.
You NEVER KNOW AT WHAT POINT IT WILL HAPPEN, but since his days at a show called “Crossfire”, he exhibits strong feelings of something sensible and suddenly...DING DING DING....
HE CHANGES COURSES.
Maybe I am wrong, but I have seen it at least four times.
Leading me to believe that: HE IS A NUT.
If you like him, fine, but just BEWARE>
So sorry for your loss.
Also not speaking German (any more)
As a tv personality, Cosby used to put too fine a point on... everything, with a little too much self-conscious flair.
I am thinking of the Spanish and the Aztecs as a prime example of the conquered getting rid of idiotic laws (like human sacrifice).
Christianity is based on human sacrifice
Churchill big drinker and the black dog thing
Patton the Hindu reincarnated war God thing and his “niece”
Creative leaders often I suppose eccentric
Tucker should get credit for fearlessness. I suspect that Tucker personally does not agree with much of what was said but was willing to air it anyway.
Before I continue I want to say-I am not defending the guy’s opinion as truth, I am defending it as possible. (and also, mostly defending Tucker Carlson from charges of being an anti-semite/holocaust denier, because based on this interview (the “WWII” section-I did not watch all of the other segments, like the James Jones one, etc.). I just don’t think it is so outlandish that I would discard it.
As for the disparity with the treatment of the French, I don’t think it is hard to explain-they did not view the French as “Sub-Humans”. I do recall that they view the Slavs (including the Russians if I am not mistaken) as “Untermenschen”, and lumped them in to some degree with Jews. So they absolutely would have treated French POWs quite differently from the Russians they captured.
Note-To me, this outlines what I see as a significant moral difference between the USA, and The Nazis, Soviets, and Japanese. All three of those countries viewed some portions of their enemies as subhuman, which within their “moral structure” they took as license to do whatever they wished with enemy prisoners. By comparison, the USA treated prisoners (generally) far more humanely. But it is also true we were prosperous, and out civilian population was not under stress the way our enemies were, so we could afford to be humane. I sometimes wonder how well we would have fared in our treatment of POWs had our civilian population been under the same stresses as many civilian citizens in those three countries, where the majority of our civilian population was subsisting in places on a calorific intake that ensured a continuous loss of weight over time. I probably wouldn’t ride so high on my moral high horse. But we didn’t have the same issues. We were relatively wealthy. Captured Germans were nearly universally grateful for their humane treatment when shipped to the USA to work on farms. And we had the exact opposite issue the Nazis faced with the Soviets. Instead of planning for 200,000 (I am making that number up-just for effect) prisoners they got 5.7 million, with Japan, we may have planned for 500,000 and instead only captured a maximum of 50,000. And if they made it into a POW compound, were treated according to the Geneva convention, not starved or outright murdered.
Overall, my point was-the Nazis did indeed have a plan on paper that codified what they were going to do to the Jews (The Wannsee Conference in 1942), but had no such document that I know of discussing the plan to deal with the 5.7 million Russian POWs. (Unless someone could point me to it. After WWII, there was a huge body of documentation that was captured by the Allies, and we all know how fastidiously the Germans kept their records. William Shirer makes a specific reference to this in his seminal work “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich”, where he explains how he was given nearly unfettered access to those records as well as the ability to interview former Nazis both in and out of prison. I believe he said that that documentation in the years after became inaccessible, destroyed (or so they said) classified, or simply lost. All are possible.
So Cooper could be right in his assertion, it could be wrong.
There are all kinds of historians, and they all try to fill in holes in the historic record where solid data is missing, and some do it well, some do it poorly, some I agree with, and some I don’t. On this subject, in the absence of documentation, it is simply this historian trying to fill in blanks and I did not think it was an out of bounds assertion, though as I have stated in my posts in the end, it doesn’t make much difference if you are a starved or worked to death Russian POW or a starved and worked to death Jew. I have not read any of his works (and I don’t think I will, so I don’t know if he actually includes this type of assertion in his works, and if he does, is it clearly qualified as such an assertion.
But I will say that a Freeper sent me a private message saying with things being as they are in this country with the election coming up, what is Carlson doing interviewing a “WTF kind of guy” (how he put it) who can cause a distraction. That is a fair criticism of Tucker Carlson, but for me, it only goes so far, because I don’t view Tucker Carlson as being in the same kind of role as, say, Dan Bongino. But I think it is a fair criticism.
Where I get off and fight back, is that I believe it is a tool being ginned up and used by the Left to do just what it does here on Free Republic and other audiences. In my estimation, the fundamental premises that Carlson and Cooper are anti-semite holocaust-deniers is absurd, based on that video. So, like many, I have gotten caught up in arguing secondary things, such as what happened to the Russian POWs instead of simply rejecting the fundamental premises which, as I said, based on the content of the video, are outright lies.
When are Repub lawmakers going to slam the fact that we have a mentally incompetent veg supposedly running the country???
And, an equally mentally incompetent fool who is now running for President, who covered up/for the above, for four years?
When are they going to slam that?
I think so too. Many people just get hung up and only see the eccentricity.
I see the greatness!
