Senator JD Vance, the running mate of former President Donald J. Trump, has declined to denounce the right-wing talk-show host Tucker Carlson for praising and airing the views of a Holocaust revisionist who falsely claimed that the Nazis’ destruction of European Jewry was not an intentional act of premeditated genocide.
Mr. Vance is scheduled to appear onstage Sept. 21 with Mr. Carlson in Hershey, Pa. Mr. Carlson no stranger to controversy, but his recent interview with Darryl Cooper, whom he described as “the best and most honest popular historian in the United States,” has faced particularly fierce blowback.
The Nazis’ “final solution” for the Jewish population of Europe was meticulously planned, documented and pursued even after the tide of World War II had turned and Germany’s defeat was assured. Yet Mr. Cooper, in an interview with Mr. Carlson shared on the social media site X earlier this week, falsely claimed the Holocaust was an accident of history, perpetrated by a German military overwhelmed with prisoners of war.
After the German army swept through Eastern Europe, he said, “they went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps. And millions of people ended up dead there.”
Mr. Cooper went on to say that Winston Churchill, the British prime minister, “was the chief villain of the Second World War” for declaring war on Germany after the Nazis invaded Poland.
In a statement to The Jewish Insider, a Vance campaign spokesman wrote, “Senator Vance doesn’t believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture but he obviously does not share the views of the guest interviewed by Tucker Carlson. There are no stronger supporters of our allies in Israel or the Jewish community in America than Senator Vance and President Trump.”

Why does Vance have to agree with the NYT? Carlson is his friend. He knows what is in Tuckers heart far better than the NYT.
I am tired of this character assassination and cancel culture crap going on with the left and the right now.
Tucker isn’t running for office, if you don’t like him then don’t listen to him.
Excellent.
Probably because Tucker hasn’t set out to denounce Candace Owens yet.
You have to bow to these people because they aren’t happy unless you allow their smear campaigns against the right to be successful.
I haven’t seen any of the people behind this go after personally, any of the squad members and try to force people to denounce them.
This is what I’m talking about…

If you think for one second there is more of the Russian version of this than this, you really don’t understand what is happening.
Why do liberals always want you to apologize for somebody else’s actions, or denounce them, or disavow? Vance is right to tell him to go f themselves
Ahhh ... the good ol’ “if you don’t agree with me 100%, you’re an idiot” argument.
Always highly persuasive.
No, you wouldn’t be an idiot. You would just be incorrect.
People who are trying, will learn new information over time.
I agree with that. And I get to talk too....And I say that you should study history.
There was a holocaust, and it also included more than just the Jews.
And Hitler really did hate the jews, and blamed them for the Germany’s WWI loss.
Tucker is a lightweight in terms of knowledge. Like Hannity, they are rah-rah guys. Nothing more.
People should realize this.
I am just over the fact that if you even acknowledge that millions of Poles and other ethnic/religious groups were murdered in the Holocaust you are labeled an “anti-Semite.”
That’s my issue.
The Anti-Defamation league are some of the most evil globalist mass-murderer wannabes there are.
Somewhere between 3-5 million Jews were murdered. Men Women and children.
Millions of Slavic peoples were too.
I don’t hate Slavic people or Jewish people.
Why don’t you tar and feather every white person with the actions of Act Blue?
FU for putting words in my mouth. My only point is the Anti-Defamation League is evil. They are the worst of the worst globalists and would happily open concentration camps.
