Tucker Carlson Under Fire for Hosting Nazi Apologist

Tucker Carlson is facing backlash for hosting self-proclaimed historian Darryl Cooper on his podcast. Cooper has been accused of being a "Nazi apologist" for his comments downplaying the Holocaust and suggesting Winston Churchill was the "villain" of World War II.

Carlson praised Cooper as "the most important historian in the United States" and gave him a platform to spread his controversial views. This sparked outrage from both conservatives and liberals, with many condemning Carlson for promoting Nazi propaganda.

Cooper has a history of making offensive comments about the Nazis, including comparing Nazi-occupied France to modern-day Paris and joking about the Trump shooter searching for Hitler in hell.

The Independent has contacted both Cooper and Carlson for comment.
