  1. Seeing that when another Holocaust denier and white supremacist leader was talking shit about Vance’s wife and children, Vance’s meek response was “Obviously, she’s not a white person… but I just, I love Usha”, this is hardly surprising.

  2. He’s already on thin ice with Trump for almost every time he opens his mouth. And Trump has to be in the worst mood ever between the polls and the debate coming up.
    Silence is as good as agreeing with it, which he probably does, but Trump would blow a gasket if he turned off any Neo-Nazis as they are the bedrock of the Trump Base.
    Currently, the only value Vance has on the ticket is someone for Trump to directly blame for losing key States in the election.

  3. Of course he’s not going to condemn Carlson. For all we know, it was the Holocaust denier’s appearance that attracted Vance’s attention to Carlson!

    neo nazis of a feather flock together

    Most likely because the new Republican party encourages and supports Holocaust deniers.

  5. He follows the neo-nazi account on both his political and personal Twitter accounts.

    You can’t make this shit up 😂

  6. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.ibtimes.com/jd-vance-refuses-condemn-tucker-carlson-interviewing-praising-holocaust-denier-3742332) reduced by 73%. (I’m a bot)

    > Sen. JD Vance has refused to condemn former Fox News host Tucker Carlson for interviewing and praising a podcaster who falsely claims the Nazis didn't intentionally exterminate 6 million Jews during the Holocaust and said they just "Ended up dead.".

    > In a prepared statement earlier this week, a Vance campaign spokesperson said Vance "Doesn't believe in guilt-by-association cancel culture but he obviously does not share the views of the guest interviewed by Tucker Carlson.”

    > Vance has been interviewed by Carlson in the past – including when he referred to "Childless cat ladies" while running for the Senate in 2021 – and he prerecorded an interview with Carlson on Thursday, hours after the White House denounced the Cooper interview, the Bulwark website reported Friday.

  7. Atheist-Paladin on

    I never understood why a white supremacist would deny the Holocaust. Like, shouldn’t they be saying something along the lines of “yeah it happened, and it was the greatest thing ever”? Wouldn’t a true white supremacist celebrate the Holocaust as a white supremacist achievement?

  8. Cooper is not, as Carlson claims, “the most important popular historian working in the United States today”.

    His most successful publication to date has been a Twitter for dummies guide he churned out in 2011. His work in the field is a series of podcasts and substacks featuring alarmingly revised opinions about figures like Hitler (quite nice, really) and events like the Holocaust (the Jews, Gypsies, gays, socialists just happened to die)

    Most actual historians (those with advanced degrees, university affiliations, academic publishing histories, etc) have never heard of him.

    Vance is a cock.

  9. Always a fun line to walk- we support Israel! Oh wait, here’s a nazi denier we love too!

    Weirdos

  10. I find it important to note that the guy isn’t actually a Holocaust *denier,* he’s a Holocaust apologist. He’s not saying it didn’t happen, he’s saying it wasn’t that bad and Churchill was more at fault. He says in the interview that killing the jews was “the most humane” option because they supposedly would have otherwise starved because they “weren’t able to feed them”.

  11. >”We believe in free speech and debate,” the Republican vice presidential nominee told reporters. “This whole idea that has taken hold in the far left of this country, that if you see a bad idea, the way to solve it is to censor it, I think it’s ridiculous”

    Ah yes, pearls of wisdom from the party that’s literally [burning books](https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-politics-and-policy/missouri-republican-candidate-torches-lgbtq-inclusive-books-viral-vide-rcna137715).

    And also quite revealing that Republicans insist any hint of LGBTQ+ must be eliminated from public society…. but Nazis? Well, they deserve to be heard.
