Poland’s top diplomat in the United States, Bogdan Klich, has accused Tucker Carlson of being an ‘apologist for Adolf Hitler’ after the podcaster made controversial remarks about Nazi Germany’s 1939 invasion of Poland.
Klich, the chargé d’affaires of Poland’s Embassy in Washington, wrote a letter to Carlson on Monday, calling the remarks a ‘colossal insult to the millions of victims of Nazism.’ The comments, which Klich described as ‘false and deeply troubling,’ were made during an interview with British politician Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg on The Tucker Carlson Show.
During the discussion, Rees-Mogg mentioned the difficulty of fighting World War II without innocent lives being lost, to which Carlson responded that he had ‘never understood why fight the Second World War in the first place.’ He then argued that Hitler’s claim to Polish territory had merit, citing the Treaty of Versailles and asserting that the notion of an unprovoked invasion was ‘a lie.’
Rees-Mogg rejected this view, calling the conflict ‘the classic good versus evil’ and arguing that Hitler would have taken as much territory as he could. Klich criticized Carlson’s justification of the invasion, stating it insulted the victims of Nazism, including ‘hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who had been killed or wounded while liberating Europe from the occupation by the Third Reich.’
In his letter, Klich emphasized that Germany’s attack on Poland on Sept. 1, 1939, was a ‘meticulously planned and brutal war of aggression,’ aimed at the ‘complete destruction of the Polish state and the physical extermination of its population.’ He also highlighted Hitler’s collaboration with Joseph Stalin under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which led to the ‘fourth partition of Poland’ and the ‘near-total extermination of Europe’s Jewish population.’
Klich called on Carlson to ‘immediately and publicly retract and apologize for these deceitful and disgraceful statements,’ warning that ‘Nazi propaganda cannot be rehabilitated under the guise of free speech, nor should the freedom of speech be used to desecrate the memory of the victims of the second World War.’
He concluded with a warning: ‘History must not be distorted. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.’
