Jemele Hill is a writer for the Atlantic. She’s on CNN all the time. She’s got a big following on Twitter. And she
This is – let's not put too fine a point on it – Holocaust denial. https://t.co/4lIR29cqp6

has lost her everlovin mind. She says she can prove America is the same as Nazi Germany.
In her madness, she is not unlike the unidentified young lady in the viral clip below freaking out about Bubble Tea.
Jemele read a new book and she is pretty excited about it. It’s a masterpiece, she said, in the tweet arguing that America is the same as Nazi Germany. “If you were of the opinion that the United States wasn’t nearly as bad as Nazi Germany,” she wrote, “how wrong you are.”
She has met some resistance to her declaration.
i can think of at least one pretty significant difference. maybe even 6 million differences. https://t.co/6Rw6uK9bOE

Even NeverTrumps are out there saying “um no.”
Oh for chrissakes, read some history. We have problems. We are not Nazi Germany.
This manages to be appalling, ignorant, offensive, and dumb all at the same time. https://t.co/3rA5QT5XCE

This is self-evident crazy, so I don’t have to explain it to our readers, who are sane.
But it does relate to another viral moment. Look at this.

This is the same madness that has gripped Jemele. The inevitable and predictable end result of telling a group of people it’s impossible for them to be wrong, to do wrong, to be racist, or deserve reprimand, based on grievances from the past.
Pure insanity. It’s what we teach now.
