Ted Lieu plays recording of Candace Owens saying Hitler's problem was globalization at hate crimes hearingWatch: Rep. Ted Lieu plays a recording of Candace Owens on Adolf Hitler and nationalism, with her saying at the time: 'The problem is that he [Hitler]...had dreams outside of Germany. He wanted to globalize.' I don't even understand what she is saying. If Hitler was going to only exterminate German Jews, that was fine? This woman is really, really, stupid. Ted Lieu is a lying racist.

A flood online of hate speech greets lawmakers probing Facebook and Google about white nationalismA congressional hearing to explore the spread of white nationalism on social media quickly illustrated the problem. A live chat alongside the YouTube stream featured anti-Semitic screeds and arguments that white nationalism is not a form of racism. I realize this is a free enterprise government, but the $$$ greed gets to be well extended at the price of millions of people. I wish more people could be humble with their success. Happy medium. If you notice that only white nationalism is being looked at not the hate and violence from antifa and black lives matter or the racism towards whites What about looking into Antisemitism in congress
