Tucker Carlson Books Controversial Podcaster Darryl Cooper for Epstein Discussion

Political commentator Tucker Carlson said he will host writer and podcaster Darryl Cooper on his online show on Thursday at 8 p.m. Eastern to discuss what Carlson called “the true history of the Jeffrey Epstein case.” Cooper, known for the “MartyrMade” podcast, has drawn criticism from civil-rights groups and some commentators for past remarks viewed as sympathetic to extremist and antisemitic positions. Carlson promoted Cooper as “America’s most honest historian,” a characterization opponents dispute. The planned appearance would be Cooper’s second on Carlson’s program this year and comes a week after the host’s segment on wealth inequality drew praise from some progressive commentators. Neither Carlson nor Cooper has publicly addressed the new round of criticism surrounding the booking.
