This week Tucker Carlson brought a guest onto his podcast, whom he introduced as “perhaps the greatest historian of our day.” The guest then proceded to tell everyone that Hitler was really an ok guy, Jews were never exterminated by the Nazis, and in fact WWII was the fault of Winston Churchill, who was a raging maniac.
Does that make Tucker Carlson a Holocaust denier?
Elon Musk tweeted about the interview, and said that the guest speaker made some good points. A while later Musk deleted the tweet, implicitly denying that he’d ever supported it. Does that make Musk a Holocaust denier denier?
While the White House forcefully condemn the podcast, the Republican candidate for President said nothing. But Vance, his running mate, mostly just said that he doesn’t believe in cancelling people because of who they choose to hang out with.
So I guess in his book it was perfectly ok for Elon Musk to tweet and then untweet support for Nazi revisionism.
Does that make Vance a Holocaust denier denier denier?
