Pro-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.

Apparently Godwin’s Law is routinely forgotten even by the most solid of Trumpists. Candace Owens, one of those who influenced Kanye West’s Trump-ward swing, brought the RWNJ message to the UK as well as the US, trying to sell the image of Hitler as a misguided nationalist. Because the Trumpian base truly wants their view of history normalized.
"If Hitler Just Wanted To Make Germany Great And Have Things Run Well, OK, Fine."
In a speaking engagement in London, which was bombed by Hitler during World War II, pro-Trump activist Candace Owens said that what the German leader did in his own country was all right, but he stepped out of bounds when he took his plans to a global level. Owens and her business partner, Charlie Kirk (best friend of Donald Trump Jr.) have taken their organization, Turning Point USA on the road to the U.K. to spread their alt-right message.

Charlie Kirk's rightwing group "Turning Point USA" is allegedly all the rage with the young folks on "campus," although it's funded by a bunch of decidedly non-college-aged billionaires. The group does wholesome political stunts like wearing diapers to own the libs and sharing funny rape jokes on one official chapter's discussion channel. They're such a big success that they want to bring diapers, rape jokes, and other solid conservative values to Britain, which is why the internet is dropping its collective jaw today at some December video from a little talk given in London by TPUSA leader Candace Owens. Answering a question about whether anyone should be put off by the term "nationalism," Owens explained that it's a perfectly acceptable term, especially since it opposed (((globalism))), which is a very bad thing indeed. Oh sure, maybe the term makes some people think of Hitler, but that's mistaken, because in truth, Hitler was a globalist. If he'd just stuck to being a nationalist, he woulda been fine!

See? If Hitler had merely confined his ambitions to making Germany great again, then who could judge him? And maybe Austria and the Sudetenland, too, because like that was greater Germany, he believed. It was when he started fiddling around with other countries that he went wrong.
Gosh, it's almost as if she is forgetting something that Hitler was pretty big on in his program of regreatening Germany. Perhaps someone in the class can tell Ms. Owens.
No, Candace Owens literally has no idea what you're talking about, nationalism is fine as long as you only exterminate your own Jews.
