Tucker Carlson, the former Fox News star turned podcaster, has come under fire for hosting a Holocaust revisionist on his show, who posited that it was Winston Churchill, not Adolf Hitler, who was the “chief villain” of World War II — drawing a rebuke from conservative lawmakers as well as the White House.
The comments were made by the podcaster Darryl Cooper on Mr. Carlson’s show “Tucker on X” on the social media platform. Mr. Carlson, who has hosted the show since Fox severed ties with him in 2023, introduced Mr. Cooper as “the most important popular historian working in the United States today.”
Mr. Cooper, who has a podcast and newsletter called “Martyr Made,” proceeded to make a variety of false claims about the Holocaust and World War II, including that millions of people in concentration camps “ended up dead” merely because the Nazis did not have enough resources to care for them, rather than as a result of the intentional genocide that it was. Mr. Cooper also claimed that Mr. Churchill, the British prime minister at the time, was “primarily responsible for that war becoming what it did,.”
As of Friday morning, the video had been viewed nearly 30 million times. Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of X, on Tuesday promoted Mr. Carlson’s interview as “very interesting” and “worth watching,” but later deleted his post.
Mr. Carlson’s endorsement of Mr. Cooper has sparked considerable outrage from the Biden administration and among some conservatives.
Representative Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, condemned the interview, saying in a statement to The Jewish Insider: “Platforming known Holocaust revisionists is deeply disturbing.”

Anything else is illegitimate "revisionism."
I don’t believe in coincidences but the criticism of Tucker Carlson comes at the same time DOJ announces the indictments of two Russian media types of attempting influence the election, simultaneously a number of podcasters are accused of taking money from a Russian to spread Russian disinformation
What are the odd all 3 things happening in the same week ??
It’s the beginning of a major Russiagate 2.0
This comingg from a paper that openly supports Hamas..maybe the Slimes should stay out of this one
The democRATs are getting hit with a continuous string of associations with Chinese "spies" or influence scams. This is a distraction operation.
I don’t care. He interviewed someone and actually let him talk. How unamerican! I hate virtue signaling jag-bags.
9th time posted here.
Now that Darryl Cooper has had his say, I will have my say: Darryl Cooper is wrong. There is too much documentary evidence that refutes him.
Starvation was a deliberate part of Nazi genocide. It was used against all opponents of Nazism: Jews, Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Dutch and the Low Countries, even the French. Herman Goering was the Nazi minister implementing it in Eastern Europe. The meticulous minutes of Wannsee Conference is proof of Nazi intentions.
Winston Churchill was one of the few men of his time who recognized the threat of Nazism, years before many. He was a champion of the oppressed while the rest of Europe buried their heads in the sand.
surprised Tucker hasnt put out a statement yet
He never said the Holocaust didn’t happen, only that it was sort of OK.
His point was the mass murder in Poland was done out of expediency rather than anti-Semitism. The Nazis didn't have a plan to hold those they captured so murdering them was more convenient.
If true, that doesn't make what they did any less evil.
But, his point was that this was another example of the government putting a spin on an event to push a narrative.
In this case, that narrative has established the principle that one act of murder is worse than another. That principle is the one behind hate crime legislation. It's created multiple double standards and tiers of justice in this country.
The murder of Jews was organized and systematized by the Nazis. There’s tons of evidence backing up that fact.
What bull 🐂 hockey.
I did not hear him revise the Holocaust. I did hear him make a dubious postulate about Churchill being the “villain”.
Thanks, I’m checking this one out.

“ Anything else is illegitimate “revisionism.””
No. But dumbassery is what it is. Unfortunate how these holocaust revisionists have crawled up out of the sewers to spread their garbage.
Conservatives DONT BELIEVE THIS CRAP.
Yeah, and if they do they are HITLER!!!
Ahh, but they did have a plan: "The Hunger Plan". Russian prisoners of war were deprived of food, shelter and blankets. Not even a tent. Not even a shack. Nothing. Don't tell me the Germans didn't have any tents.
For your edification:
Darryl Cooper is a fraud.
“ Yeah, and if they do they are HITLER!!!”
If they do they are WILLFULLY ignorant of history.
And WILLFULLY spit in the face of WW2 vets.
Just like the leftists who support Communism.
I’ll say it again CONSERVATIVES DO NOT SUPPORT THIS GARBAGE.
