Candace Owens, the communications director of Turning Point USA, has yet again landed the pro-Trump student organization into hot water. During an already-stymied bid to launch a division in the United Kingdom, Owens tried to argue there that Adolf Hitler was evil not because of his nationalism but his globalism.
“[I]f Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine. The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany,” Owens said. “He wanted to globalize. He wanted everybody to be German, everybody to be speaking German. Everybody to look a different way. To me, that’s not nationalism. In thinking about how we could go bad down the line, I don’t really have an issue with nationalism. I really don’t.”
