She's not wrong.

Yes, she is.

Hitler was never elected lol. He in fact got crushed in the popular election by 20% by Hindenburg.

The Nazi party, however, won the largest number of seats of any party in the Reichstag in 1932, but leftist seats actually had a larger representation, just split between different parties.

This scared the oligarchal industry types enough that they pressured President Hindenburg into appointing Hitler as Chancellor over a less... Contentious candidate. Then a bunch of Nazi shit happened, the "centrists" did what they always do and supported the seizure of power by fascists, and two years later Chancellor Hitler became Chancellor and President Hitler, all without winning a population election.

What she should have said is that Hitler was duly appointed. By a massive fucking loser and coward who probably jerked off thinking about how he helped Germany start and lose two World Wars.

Was waiting for this comment. It's bizarre how politicians are openly wrong and no one ever seems to correct them anymore.
