JD Vance Stands By Tucker Carlson Amid Hitler and Holocaust Whitewash - Mediaite
Ohio Senator and Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance is standing by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson amid widespread outrage over a recent interview in which Carlson and his guest, Darryl Cooper, whitewashed the actions of Adolf Hitler as well as the Holocaust.
In the interview, Carlson said he was highly distressed by the uses to which the myths about World War Two have been put in the context of modern foreign policy particularly the war in Ukraine.
You know, Churchills the good guy, Neville Chamberlains the bad guy. You know, its just, its too pat, its too, obviously, quite banal. But it also has justified, like, the killing of millions of people since the end of the Second World War. And so I do think its fair to ask like What really was going on? So, for example, Im American, Im not English, so I dont have any weird motive in asking this, but how would you assess Winston Churchill? he asked.
Cooper went on to not only submit that Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War but to peddle a soft defense of the Nazis and massively understate what occurred during the Holocaust.

Im so sick to death of people like Carlson using this lazy, cheap ploy to inject their warped narrative onto the public conversation. The only fair question to ask is how far up Putins ass your head is shoved you sniveling little shitweasel.

He and the British people were very brave to take on Hitler against all odds.
