Candace Owens: Hitler Was 'OK' Until He Tried to Go Global

[RandySF]

ro-Trump personality Candace Owens described Adolf Hitler’s plan for Germany as initially “OK” while speaking in the same city that the Nazi dictator relentlessly bombed nearly 80 years ago.

The remarks came in newly resurfaced video, taken in December at a London event launching the British chapter of Turning Point USA, the conservative campus group she helps lead. Owens’s comments were first reported on Friday by BuzzFeed News.

Owens was asked by an audience member for her thoughts on the future of nationalist movements. In her response, Owens said “nationalism” has been given a bad rap before pivoting to the Nazi dictator.

“When we say nationalism, the first thing people think about, at least in America, is Hitler. He was a national socialist.” she said.

“If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine,” Owens continued, while standing next to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.

“The problem is he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize, he wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German, everybody to look a different way. To me, that’s not nationalism. So in thinking about how it could go bad down the line, I don’t really have an issue with nationalism, I really don’t.”

1. Anyone who tries to justify Hitler...

...should enjoy a padded room for eternity.

2. That little thing about

putting his own citizens (Jews, homosexuals not politically connected, and gypsies) into death camps wouldn't have been a problem if he didn't invade Poland.

5. Dachau was set up in March 1933, long before he went "global".

3. Idiot probably believes Mussolini made the trains run on time.

4. Hitler would have been fine...

if he hadn't gone all, you know, Hitler.

6. Hitler was never just local, his ideology was built on foundation of....

the West's Christian anti-semitism.

7. She is not a very bright or honest person.

I have no idea what this woman actually believes, as I think she is just chasing after whatever will give her fame and fortune. So, I don't think she actually put much thought into what she was saying, and she just strung words together that she thinks her target audience/cash cows would embrace.

Despite my dislike for her as a person, I was hoping she would clarify herself by saying something more like "had Hitler just stuck to making germany great by focusing on the economy...", but nope. If she put any actual thought into what she was saying then she would have realized she was saying "Had Hitler stuck to killing the Jews and other minorities only in Germany then I wouldn't have had a problem with it" I find it hard to believe even someone like her would actually mean to say that. I couldn't imagine anyone who isn't a self-proclaimed nazi intending to say that.

In other words....

The people are stupid.
