The Biden administration has strongly condemned Tucker Carlson for interviewing Darryl Cooper, a self-described historian who made controversial claims about World War II, including that Adolf Hitler was not the chief villain and blaming Winston Churchill instead. White House spokesperson Andrew Bates criticized Carlson for giving a platform to a 'Holocaust denier' and labeled it a 'disgusting and sadistic insult' to the memory of the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. The backlash intensified online, particularly after Elon Musk shared the interview clip, which he later deleted. Cooper's comments sparked outrage as he downplayed the Nazis' genocidal intentions and suggested that Churchill was primarily responsible for the war's escalation. The Biden administration emphasized that such rhetoric is especially unacceptable given the rise of anti-Semitism and recent tragic events affecting Jewish communities. Carlson defended his choice of guest, accusing critics of using historical narratives to promote their agendas and promote war.
