Haaretz: TuCa and Elon promoting Holocaust revisionism

[Horace]

Cooper's wikipedia page seems to have been created just today. I am not too sure he was on anybody's radar before the Tucker interview.

Didn’t he hire some of his writers? Then again they probably had non-competes too without the $ to fight fox.

Cooper explains himself in detail here on why Churchill was the chief villain of WWII, Community Notes is having none of it.

Cooper did an Ask Me Anything on his site in 2022, long before he went viral. He had been doing historical podcasts for several years and had some fans. Interestingly lots of left-leaning people, who were surprised to learn his politics leaned right. From this I glean that his politics are not obvious from the content he's put out before the Tucker interview. All of these hot takes about him being a Nazi or Fascist are based on what he said in the Tucker piece.

Seems like more of a discussion than a dunk-fest. An at times nit-picky discussion at that.

I looked yesterday as I had no idea who he was, and there was no Wiki page.

I guess his 15 minutes starts now.

I looked yesterday as well with the same result. Nada.

That FuCa….cutting 21st century internet titans from whole cloth.

The man is a social media wizard!

Social necromancy perhaps

VDH weighs in

[Doctor Phibes]

They keep referring to him as a historian. He appears to be just some guy in the internet.

[Renauda]

Not just some guy, but a cleverly half baked charlatan.

He was until Elon recommended him to his 200MM followers.

One wag called it “Tucker’s 1945 Project”

@jon-nyc

Few historians and Churchill experts out there are better to expose and duly excoriate the charlatan Cooper, than Andrew Roberts. Bravo, job well done.

I wonder what incentives and motivations drive someone like Tucker to leave Fox and go so, so deep into the toilet.
