Former Tory minister defends UK decision to enter war in podcast with US rightwinger and Putin sympathiser
The former Tory minister Jacob Rees-Mogg has found himself defending Britain’s decision to fight against Adolf Hitler after inviting the US rightwinger and Vladimir Putin sympathiser Tucker Carlson into his home for an interview.
During the encounter, Carlson repeatedly suggested the west was to blame for inviting aggression from Russia and said of the prospect that Britain could have lost to Hitler: “Who cares?”
Rees-Mogg, who lost his parliamentary seat in 2024, appears to have agreed to host Carlson’s podcast show after carving out a post-politics career as a commentator.
That’s the extreme right’s goal isn’t it, cleansing fascism of its stains? Pretending it was just some unfortunate happenings here and there, some rogue people who spoiled the pure waters of God’s Own Politics, fascism.
So that after that, calls can again go out to purify society, killing the ‘impure’ and obey the Leader and his minions.
