 by Rod Williams, Sept. 7, 2024- Was Churchill the chief villain or World War II? Was he a war-mongering psychopath? Tucker Carlson's guest on Carlson's podcast, historian Darryl Cooper, alleges that he was. And what about the holocaust? Well, Germany did not plan well and ended up with all of these prisoners and killing them was more humane than letting them starve to death. 

Now, it is not Carlson Tucker saying this, but he gives the guy a platform to say it and Carlson nods along and agrees and praises the guy. Tucker Carlson is promoting a revisionist view of history that makes Hitler and Germany the victims of WWII. To watch the complete video featuring Darryl Cooper click the image on the right. 

The Republican Party has a problem that goes beyond Donald Trump. Tucker Carlson is many a Republican's favorite pundit. He was a featured speaker at the recent Republican convention. This is shameful. In my view, Tucker Carlson should be Persona non grata among Republicans or any gathering of decent people. 

Certainly, Tucker Carlson and Darryl Cooper should and do have the right to posit any vision of history they want. I watched the full episode and found much of it informative and thought provoking. I do not think Carlson's views should be banned from media platforms, but these views should not be embraced by Republicans. Tucker Carlson is deplorable and should be treated as such.

You may recall that a few months ago, Carlson went to Russia and conducted a softball interview of Vladimer Putin, where Putin was allowed to justify his invasion of Ukraine. That is the same episode in which Carlson gushed with admiration because Russian grocery stores have fresh bread and modern shopping carts. Tucker Carlson has let it be known that he is taking the side of Russia in the Ukrainian conflict. 

That the Republican Party is inclusive of people like Carlson and various conspiracy theorist and nutjobs and bigots is a problem. Certainly, we can engage in whataboutism. The Democratic Party has shown itself to be tolerant of Marxism and various extremist and nutjobs. The Dems have their own deplorables and the Party embraces them and includes them, but that is not a justification for Republicans to do likewise. 

Republicans have lost the moral high ground.
