(TJVNEWS.COM)A newly sworn-in Republican congresswoman declared that “Hitler was right on one thing” at a pro-Trump Washington rally against certifying the Democratic results of the presidential election, Times Of Israel reported.
“If we win a few elections, we’re still going to be losing unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future,’” said Mary Miller.
This appears to be a quote from the former Nazi leader’s autobiography Mein Kampf
Illinois’ newest member of Congress quoting Adolf Hitler outside the US Capitol. Not sure why anyone would ever need to reference a Nazi to make a point about educating children. https://t.co/SN6yr1qSBP

At a press conference on Wednesday, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker caller Miller’s comments “unfathomable and disgusting” and called on Illinois Republicans to “condemn this vile, evil streak in their party.”
Anti Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt condemned the remarks, tweeting “Hitler wasn’t right on anything — and invoking his name in this or any other context is wildly offensive & disrespects the millions who perished due to the Nazis’ hateful, genocidal regime, Times of Israel pointed out.
