Rich Lowry sharply criticized Tucker Carlson for acquiescing to Cornell professor Dave Collum's revisionist World War II claims. Collum asserted the common World War II narrative is wrong, argued the United States arguably should have allied with Hitler to fight Stalin, mused that a Holocaust might not have occurred, and claimed missing American soldiers were left in Russian territory and that Pearl Harbor warnings were known. Carlson repeatedly nodded and offered no substantive objection during the interview. Lowry labeled Carlson's behavior 'out-Tuckering' himself, dissected Collum's arguments, and condemned Carlson's deference to a guest entertaining alliance with the Nazis.
I think the story we got about World War II was all wrong, causing Carlson to reply, I think that's right. One can make the argument we should have sided with Hitler and fought Stalin. Patton said that, continued Collum. And maybe there wouldn't have been a Holocaust, right? You know, but Stalin was awful by any metric and we weren't his ally.
Carlson agrees with Collum's contention that we have gotten World War II all wrong, and he lodges no objection when a guest to whom he's very deferential says that we arguably should have allied with Hitler's Germany in World War II to fight Stalin. In this, Tucker is really out-Tuckering himself, he observed. He has gone from nodding along with a guest who maintained that Hitler was misunderstood and killed millions of people as a function of unfortunate circumstances,
