Illinois Congresswoman Says Hitler Was Right on One Thing'

A newly-sworn in congresswoman from southern Illinois quoted Adolf Hitler as she spoke outside the U.S. Capitol, saying the German Nazi leader "was right on one thing."
Rep. Mary Miller was speaking at a rally in Washington, D.C. when a Twitter user posted video Tuesday showing a portion of her speech.
"If we win a few elections, were still going to be losing unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle," Miller is heard saying in the footage. "Hitler was right on one thing. He said, Whoever has the youth has the future.

Maybe someone can find the link?
Also hearts and minds was used during Vietnam war. We werent blowing them up; we were winning hearts and minds.
Someone create a meme suitable for T-shirts/bumper stickers? Thanks!
Sidenote: bbc did not mention most Americans support abortion rights. Simply let anti roe woman rant.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Wednesday called Miller's remarks "unfathomable and disgusting."
"Hitler got nothing right," Pritzker said during an unrelated press conference. "This reprehensible rhetoric has no place in our politics."
