TED LIEU: In
congressional hearings,

3
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:05,550
the minority party gets to
select its own witnesses.

4
00:00:05,550 --> 00:00:07,980
And of all the people
the Republicans

5
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:11,640
could have selected, they
picked Candace Owens.

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,870
I don't know Miss Owens.

7
00:00:12,870 --> 00:00:14,040
I'm not going to
characterize her.

8
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,470
I'm going to let her own
words do the talking.

9
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:19,620
So I'm going to play for you the
first 30 seconds of a statement

10
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:21,630
she made about Adolf Hitler.

11
00:00:21,630 --> 00:00:25,238


12
00:00:25,238 --> 00:00:26,150
CANDACE OWENS: I agree.

13
00:00:26,150 --> 00:00:28,240
I actually don't have
any problems at all

14
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:29,360
with the word "nationalism."

15
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,060
I think that it gets--

16
00:00:31,060 --> 00:00:34,420
the definition gets
poisoned by leaders

17
00:00:34,420 --> 00:00:35,710
that actually want globalism.

18
00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:37,760
Globalism is what I don't want.

19
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,730
So when you think about,
whenever we say nationalism,

20
00:00:39,730 --> 00:00:41,110
the first thing
people think about,

21
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:42,960
at least in America, is Hitler.

22
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,680
You know, he was a
National Socialist.

23
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,260
But if Hitler just wanted
to make Germany great

24
00:00:47,260 --> 00:00:49,420
and have things
run well, OK, fine.

25
00:00:49,420 --> 00:00:50,920
Problem is is that
he wanted-- he

26
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,020
had dreams outside of Germany.

27
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:54,190
He wanted to globalize.

28
00:00:54,190 --> 00:00:55,390
He wanted everybody
to be German,

29
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:57,630
everybody to be speaking
German, everybody--

30
00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:03,100
TED LIEU: All right, so my first
question is to Miss Hershenov.

31
00:01:03,100 --> 00:01:05,470
Miss Owens said,
quote, "if Hitler just

32
00:01:05,470 --> 00:01:09,830
wanted to make Germany great and
have things run well, OK, fine.

33
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:11,170
The problem is
that he wanted-- he

34
00:01:11,170 --> 00:01:13,400
had dreams outside of Germany."

35
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,760
So when people try to
legitimize Adolf Hitler,

36
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,460
does that feed into white
nationalist ideology?

37
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:22,090


38
00:01:22,090 --> 00:01:23,290
EILEEN HERSHENOV:
It does, Mr. Lieu.

39
00:01:23,290 --> 00:01:26,260
I know that Miss Owens
distanced herself

40
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:28,030
from those comments later.

41
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:32,370
But we expressed great concern
over the original comments.

42
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:35,872
