Pro-Turmp political commentator Candace Owens has been criticised for minimising the Holocaust after calling Mengele’s experiments on Auschwitz prisoners “bizarre propaganda”.

Speaking on an episode of The Candace Show entitled “Literally Hitler. Why can’t we talk about him?”, Owens described Holocaust education as indoctrination.

The Combat Antisemitism Movement called Owen’s comments “utterly repugnant”, adding: “It is an established fact that SS officer Josef Mengele performed deadly experiments on Jewish twins during the Holocaust,” they said on social media. “Not 80 years later [Candace Owens] tries to rewrite history by denying these depraved acts ever happened”.

Owens also ranted about how “factually and statistically” Hitler was not the greatest evil of his time.
