Tucker Carlson Platforms Holocaust Revisionism – With Elon Musk's Endorsement

On the latest episode of Tucker Carlson's Twitter show, historian Darryl Cooper promoted Holocaust revisionism – in the most generous interpretation of his claims – arguing about the motivations behind Nazi-constructed concentration camps.

Describing Winston Churchill as "the chief villain" of World War II, Cooper said "Germany put itself into a position ... when they went into the East in 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared" to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war and local political prisoners and so forth that they were going to have to handle. They went in with no plan for that. They just threw these people into camps, and millions of people ended up dead there," Cooper continued.

X Owner Elon Musk shared the episode, describing it as "Very interesting. Worth watching."

Musk and Carlson have platformed antisemitism from the far-right for months, though it has taken particular speed since Musk took over X, formerly Twitter, and Carlson began hosting his show on the platform after leaving Fox News.

I know you're quoting from an article, but calling Cooper a historian would be like calling Hitler a semitophile, man has no relevant qualifications, no published and peer reviewed articles nor any positions in the field that could describe him as a historian. The cynical historian mentions him in this recent video at about 18:26, when he describes Cooper as a wannabe David Irving.
