After Darryl Cooper’s “chief villain” comment on Tucker Carlson, I cringed but tried to give the benefit of the doubt to Tucker. I reasoned it may have been a poorly deployed attempt to take Pat Buchanan’s position, which is basically that the British March 1939 guarantee was a blunder Britain could not honor, that it helped push Hitler into the Molotov-Ribbentrop deal, and that Poland was not saved. He still treated Hitler as the aggressor and Nazism as something to oppose. There are weaknesses with that analysis, but Buchanan also made all the necessary qualifications about opposing Nazism and saw Hitler as the villain. It was an argument against security agreements more than it was about winning WWII once started. Tucker, on the other hand, sows confusion. Recently, in his Rees-Mogg interviews he said: “I’m certainly not here defending Hitler” before arguing that Hitler’s case on the Polish corridor was “true.” He keeps implying that somehow losing WWII led to the demise of Great Britain as if the current conditions are the direct result of winning that war and not the centuries long embrace of liberalism as an ism before and after the war and illustrated much more indictable by other periods and events. If anything, Chamberlain’s “peace in our time” is more illustrative of the liberal spirit than Churchill’s bullishness. With Piers Morgan in November 2025 he pressed why winning “destroy[ed] Britain” and pointed at London: “it was ninety-nine percent [white] in nineteen forty-five” and is now on track, in his telling, to a white minority. With Rees-Mogg he said the UK “destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war that they still pretend was a good idea, but it wasn’t.” He asked: “Has the UK benefited from it?” and “Is it a better country than it was?” Simultaneously, he also has defended Pakistani immigration and implied it’s not a threat to Great Britain. In that same Morgan interview from 2025 he said “I’m not hating on the Muslims at all,” “I like the Bangladeshis better than I like the liberal whites in your country a lot more. They’ve never yelled at me,” and “I have more in common with the sincerely religious Pakistani cab driver than I do with anyone who works at the Times of London” or “the average Guardian staffer.” He called “hate the Muslim” “an op,” while still saying England is “pretty filthy” and that the things that made it England “are going away because there are different people living here.” I can only conclude that I gave Tucker a benefit of the doubt he did not deserve. At this point he’s just being historically inept with his simplistic cause and effect, applying it haphazardly, blaming Churchill for Great Britain’s current demise, while simultaneously encouraging part of that very demise himself.
