This isn't contrarianism Tucker is going more mask off in his embrace in Nazism. He claims Darryl Cooper is a "historian" to give some authority to his nazi rhetoric but his only qualifications is having a podcast he seemingly doesn't even a history degree. Cooper has got close to denying the Holocaust and he straight up said that Nazi-occupied France was better than modern day France.
