"Russia's war is virtuous because they're battling Nazis, but also hey were the Nazis so bad?"
Churchill bad now?
Whatabout Obama's dad? Good now?

He was a racist and an imperialist.
I know. I was referencing the right wing conniption fit over Obama's removal of that ugly ass bust of Churchill from the Oval Office.

https://www.wired.com/story/maga-is-...sidential-bid/A new coalition of high-profile MAGA figures has launched a movement with the aim of running a third party-candidate in the 2028 presidential election. The name at the top of their list: former Fox News star Tucker Carlson.
On Saturday, former US representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia shared a picture on X taken at Carlson’s cabin in Maine, where Greene and Carlson appeared around a large wooden table alongside former representative Thomas Massie and Joe Kent, the former head of the US National Counterterrorism Center.
“We said no more foreign wars and we meant it and supported Donald Trump because he made that promise,” Greene wrote in a caption accompanying the photo. “But he’s betrayed us all. Our commitment is America First for all Americans, right, left, and center. The movement has begun.”
...this time, as a nativist, antisemitic bloc
Conservatives love their famous media and sports personalities. He's got as solid a shot as any of them.
Yeah that's what a lot of us said about Trump just over a decade ago
True, but I don't think Tucker has the juice
More of a talking head than a pop celeb, not as rich, not as famous
I would say if he runs as an indy, he's really got no shot
I don't think he'd run against Vance or Jr. in 28 at this point. Best case is Trump dies shortly and Tucker leads the destalinization effort and rehabilitates JV to justify the billions techbros use to buy him.

Tucker is retconning 1930s fascism
https://www.thejc.com/news/world/tuc...eroes-nsp89rwuControversial US podcaster Tucker Carlson has described Oswald Mosley, the pro-Hitler leader of Britain’s short-lived fascist party during the Second World War, as one of the country’s “great war heroes”.
Carlson further claimed this week that Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Winston Churchill, and that was why he was arrested.
Churchill, according to Carlson, was a person we are “required to deify”, but in fact was a figure who “presided over the imprisonment of his opposition party during the entire length of the war, and their families, and their wives.”
About Mosley and his party, he continued: “Their crime was being the opposition party and being disloyal and unpatriotic, they weren’t.”
Speaking in a video interspersed with images of Mosley doing fascist salutes, Carlson said: “The opposition party was led by a First World War war hero who fought not just as you know, a pilot in the sky but and in the trenches. [He was] one of the great war heroes, former member of parliament, the country ever produced. And he and his compatriots and their wives were interned without charges by Winston Churchill for the duration of the war.”
Mosley was not fact the then-leader of the opposition but founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), a minor party that never performed well in elections even at its height in the mid 1930s, and never won a seat in Parliament.
Tucker hates Israel for antisemitic reasons
Tucker has drunk the koolaid about El-Sayed somehow hating the Jews, and thinks this is wonderful and worth losing a Republican Senate seat to promote.
Tucker laundering Oswald Mosley
Mosley and his second wife were married in Joseph Goebbels' office, with Hitler in attendance.
The British Union of Fascists weren't the opposition party during WWII, Labour was
Tucker is saying this to NPR without any pushback
Tucker making Rees-Mogg look like the voice of reason is quite the feat
"Just asking questions" about the wisdom of fighting the Nazis in WWII
https://www.aol.com/articles/tucker-...233427000.htmlREES-MOGG: I think it’s very difficult to have fought the Second World War without innocent people being killed.Carlson then attempted to discuss World War I, but his interlocutor insisted on addressing its sequel:
CARLSON: No one tried I’ve never understood. Why fight the Second World War in the first place?
“Well,” Rees-Mogg said after a pause. “That’s a very fundamental question.”
REES-MOGG: Hitler would’ve taken as much as he could’ve done, as he was showing.
CARLSON: Well, Hitler said that 15% was once Germany and it was given to Poland at the Treaty of Versailles. That was German territory with Germans in it. That was his case. And by the way, that was true.
REES-MOGG: Except the Polish borders had been cut up by–
CARLSON: I’m certainly not here defending Hitler. I’m just saying the idea that Hitler just randomly rolled into Poland is a lie and everyone believes it because they know nothing about the actual facts. But the truth is, Germany had big pieces of it carved off, including part of Prussia and it was given to this other country. It infuriated the Germans. Maybe it shouldn’t have, but it did. And that was the justification for it. The U.K. had nothing to do with it at all And–
REES-MOGG: Well, we had a treaty of alliance–
CARLSON: –they destroyed their empire and their country fighting this war that they still pretend was a good idea, but it wasn’t.
REES-MOGG: It was fundamental. It was the classic good-versus-evil.
CARLSON: Has the U.K. benefitted from it?
REES-MOGG: We did the right thing.
CARLSON: Is it a better country than it was?
REES-MOGG: To have defeated Hitler? Yes.
CARLSON: So, the U.K. is a better country now? It’s a healthier country now.
REES-MOGG: Otherwise, we’d all be speaking German.
CARLSON: Who cares?
REES-MOGG: I do.
CARLSON: There are a lot of people in Britain who can’t speak English. So, it would be nice to have like, at least a European language spoken in your country.
REES-MOGG: No, I see no advantage speaking German over any other language. We want to speak English, thank you so much.
