"To be Dietrich Bonhoeffer and sort of reach the end of reason, or even Christianity. Bonhoeffer decided Christianity's not even-, he was a Lutheran pastor. Christianity is not enough, we have to kill the guy [Adolf Hitler]. I'm not judging Bonhoeffer, who was a great man in some ways, but that's inevitable once we decide that people are Nazis. Bonhoeffer was part of anti-Nazi German resistance movement,"
"It is a matter of historical debate what role, exactly, Bonhoeffer played in the famous, failed plot to assassinate Hitler on July 20, 1944. Needless to say, many on the right were stunned by Carlson's criticism of the Christian icon. Why are you not focusing on Democrats!?" Also, Bonhoeffer was evil for trying to kill Hitler and stop WW2!' Utter stupidity at best, something far more devious at worst, mused RedState's Bonchie."
Tucker Carlson argued that once people are labeled 'Nazis' there is an inevitable slide toward justifying violence, using Dietrich Bonhoeffer as an example. Carlson framed Bonhoeffer as having reached the 'end of reason' and suggested that deciding someone is a Nazi makes violence unavoidable. Bonhoeffer served as a Lutheran pastor involved in anti-Nazi resistance and helped Jews escape; his role in the July 20, 1944 assassination plot remains historically debated. Carlson's remarks provoked shock and backlash from conservatives and public figures who defended Bonhoeffer's actions to stop Hitler and World War II. Commentators condemned Carlson's characterization as historically inaccurate.
