Wow. The state of journalism today is pathetic. This clown says Owens "..encouraged her audience to read Adolf Hitler's 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf..". No. From the very quotes in his own article, she says, "A little reminder, if you actually go on Amazon right now, you can order and read 'Mein Kampf.' It is not an endorsement of Adolf Hitler to read a historical textbook. It just is not, right?" You have to be a complete idiot (very likely) and/or just a liar to say that is encouraging the audience to read it.Candace Owens calls Adolf Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' a 'textbook' while excusing Kyrie Irving's antisemitism
On Wednesday's edition of The Daily Wire's The Candace Owens Show, the namesake right-wing host encouraged her audience to read Adolf Hitler's 1925 autobiography Mein Kampf while complaining about the backlash over Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving's embrace of antisemitic conspiracy theories.
But Owens – who defended rapper Kanye West after he repeatedly disparaged Jews last month – believes that Irving is a victim of overly zealous coordinated retaliation by the Anti-Defamation League and the NBA. To make her case, Owens alluded to a controversial documentary called Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America that rocketed to the top spot on Amazon after Irving promoted it – an action that contributed to his suspension. Numerous organizations have demanded that Amazon remove the film, which the Washington Free Beacon explained on Tuesday "not only denies the Holocaust but also claims Jewish people falsified the historical record about it in order to 'conceal their nature and protect their status and power.' It also claims that white people cannot be authentic Jews, a belief that inspired the deadly 2019 shooting at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey."
Owens maintained that the movie's popularity should absolve Irving for tacitly endorsing its hateful subject matter:

We now, what do you guys have to say about this?
Similarly, the context of her calling it a textbook, in that very same statement, seems to obviously (for the less addled among us) ridicule the idea that it is a historical textbook. In any case it is a historical textbook if you are learning about Hitler.
She was arguing against censoring ideas and for free speech. "And, what I like about this story is because – you know how I feel about free speech. I think people have a right to be wrong. I think people have a right to take in information. I think people have a right to read whatever they want."
Buttplug has a different interpretation. "That transitioned into Owens mentioning Hitler's Mein Kampf – a collection of his insidious ramblings that he authored while in prison for trying to overthrow the Weimar Republic in 1923 – as an invaluable educational document."
So, first he says she was encouraging people to read it, and now he says she says it is an invaluable educational document. See if you can figure out where she is referring to Mein Kampf as an invaluable educational document.
"A little reminder, if you actually go on Amazon right now, you can order and read 'Mein Kampf.' It is not an endorsement of Adolf Hitler to read a historical textbook. It just is not, right? And the idea that we should be censoring all this information and no one should see it because it hurts some group of people, to me, just does not gel well with our First Amendment rights."
Another stupid and/or deceitful liberal "journalist". Sad that some people offer it as some valuable commentary.
