Lawmaker plays Hitler comments in white nationalism hearing

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) played a clip of conservative commentator Candace Owens talking about Adolf Hitler during a congressional hearing about white nationalism. Owens accused Lieu of purposefully playing only a portion of the clip to "create a narrative." #CNN #News

"Nationalists do not kill their own people"

The problem arises when you ask the nationalist to define "his own people"

[pisces]

I never thought I hear a black person use the “I’m not racist because I have black friends” defense in my entire life.

[dannman]

Wow the Judge clearly didn’t listen to a word she said

[rlmpproductions]

They tried to tangle her up like this wasn't being recorded. She clearly never called him stupid on record.

Isn't there a saying when a debate is held long enough, hitler will be mentioned.

[Cheerical_Lyrical]

I thought he was going to play video of Hitler's speech 😂

On Prager U: "Stop using your race as an excuse for why people treat you bad."
In Court: "The senator thinks all black people are stupid."

[steveelliott]

She didn’t try to legitimize Hitler in those comments. She also didn’t refer to Lou as stupid.

"You didn't listen to what I said"

Judge: 🤷

[stndsamurai]

He really just pulled a “this you?” on her in a hearing

[Antonx]

She's stated she didn't say that and then the camera pans to Nadler and he shrugs. So he doesn't care if he's wrong and is falsely reprimanding her.

[Erpants]

That Lieu guy's smug face was so freaking obnoxious

[janellecolondelgado]

Can we just take a moment to address that it is wrong to kill people even if they are not "your own?"

[shgfeay]

Candace Owens *anger* “that’s NOT what i said. You DIDNT LISTEN to what I said”

*awkward shrug*

[Scrotumofbodom]

Lol CNN how did this work out for you, didn't even play the whole thing

[makcarolin]

I looked up the full clip of the time in between the clip playing and her response just to be sure, and not once does Lieu ever say the word ‘Black.’ Candace Owens, ironically enough, plays the race card

[miarosadolaguer]

The photographer in the back turned around real quick like "this none of my business" 😭

[DeadSezSo]

The problem with Candaces statement is that she essentially said if Hitler had only committed genocide in his own country then it wouldn't have been an issue. I'm sure she doesn't actually hold that belief but it just goes to show how woefully unqualified she is to speak on these issues. She poorly articulated herself then tried to act like hearing the question changes her statement. I do believe she meant something entirely different than what she said but that's why she shouldn't be speaking on these issues. She clearly has no idea what a nationalist is. Being a "globalist", as she so ineloquently stated, doesn't mean you aren't a nationalist. In fact, nationalists by definition are "globalists" because they only care about their nations interests and believe their country should disregard other countries' well-being and interests and any decision that is considered in their best interest is considered a good decision.

Also, I find it funny she immediately mischaracterized the question as being about the intelligence level of black folks but she and her colleagues will bash any liberal person of color who points out REAL bigotry as "playing the race card" and "playing the victim." She is a reprehensible human being, just like all the white men she shills for. Ain't got nothing to do with race, it has to do with her and her colleagues as individuals period.

I was expecting cnn to cut off her response, so I’m a little impressed

“Nationalists wouldn’t kill their own people.” History says otherwise
