Tucker Carlson has sparked controversy after hosting Darryl Cooper on his podcast.

Cooper claimed on the show that the Holocaust was an accident and that millions of people “ended up dead" in Nazi concentration camps.

Conservative commentator Carslon said on X that Cooper “may be the best and most honest popular historian in the United States” after releasing The Tucker Carlson Show Monday episode.

Cooper, who hosts the Martyr Made podcast, suggested that where Hitler went wrong was by entering Germany into “a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions and millions of prisoners of war, of local political prisoners.”

Cooper said the Nazis “went in with no plan for that and they just threw these people into camps”, adding that “millions of people ended up dead there.”

Cooper said Nazi commanders had problems feeding the millions in concentration camps because they “did not have enough food”.

He claimed the commanders suggested the best decision was to not let them starve but to “finish them off quickly now”.

Elon Musk calling the discussion “Very interesting. Worth watching”.

But Conservative analyst Erick Erickson wrote on X “Didn’t expect Tucker Carlson to become an outlet for Nazi apologetics, but here we are.”

“Actually, this is pro-Nazi propaganda, including, ‘Churchill was the chief villain of WW2’ and Hitler ‘didn’t want to fight,’” former congresswoman Liz Cheney wrote on X. “No serious or honorable person would support or endorse this type of garbage.”
