thank you mr chair in congressional hearings the minority party gets to select its own witnesses and of all the people that republicans could have selected they picked candace owens i don’t know miss owens i’m not gonna characterize her i’m gonna let her own words through the talking so i’m gonna play for you the first 30 seconds of a statement she made about adolf hitler i agree i actually don’t have any problems at all with the word nationalism i think that it gets uh the definition gets poisoned um by uh elitists that actually want globalism globalism is what i what i don’t want so when you think about whenever we say nationalism the first thing people think about in at least in america is hitler you know he was a national socialist but if hitler just wanted to make germany great and have things run well okay fine the problem is is that he wanted he had dreams outside of germany he wanted to globalize he wanted everybody to be german everybody to be speaking german all right so my uh first question is to miss herschenoff miss owen said quote if hitler just wanted to make germany great and have things run well okay fine the problem is that he wanted he had dreams outside of germany so when people try to legitimize adolf hitler does that feed into white nationalist ideology it does mr liu i know that uh ms owens distanced herself from those comments later but we expressed great concern over the original comments great thank you thank you uh miss owen uh miss owens i’m sorry we just started recording um would you like time to respond to that yes um i think it’s pretty apparent that uh mr lube believes that black people are stupid and will not uh pursue the full clip in its entirety he purposely presented an extract an extracted it is not proper to refer disparagingly or with to a member of the committee uh the witness will not do that again witness may continue sure even though i was called despicable um witness may not refer to a member of the committee as stupid i didn’t refer to him as stupid that’s not what i said that’s not what i said at all you didn’t listen to what i said may i continue please as i said he is assuming that black people will not go pursue the full two-hour clip and he purposefully extracted he cut off and you didn’t hear the question that was asked of me he’s trying to present as if i was launching a defense of hitler in germany when in fact the question that was asked of me was returning to whether or not i believed that hitler was a whether or not i believed in nationalism and that nationalism was bad and what i responded to was that i do not believe that we should be characterizing hitler as a nationalist he was a homicidal psychopathic maniac that killed his own people a nationalist would not kill their own people that is exactly what i was referring to in the clip and he purposely wanted to give you a cut up similar to what they do to donald trump to create a different narrative that was unbelievably dishonest and he did not allow me to respond to it which is worrisome and to tell you a lot about where people are today in terms of trying to drum up narratives by the way i would like to also add that i work for prager university which is run by an orthodox jew and a single democrat showed up to the embassy opening in jerusalem i sat on a plane for 18 hours to make sure that i was there i’m deeply offended by the insinuation of revealing that clip without the question that was asked of me thanks mrs owens and i yield the remainder of my time gentleman yields back
