. >> fiery moment between candace owens and california congressman ted do. wn at a congressional hearing regarding hate speech. it started when congressman lou pulled out a cell phone and played a small portion of the controversial comment owens made about hitler and nationalism but no one c cherry picked a line to make her look bad. this controversy spilling over to social media when owens's employer responded saying ted and every media outlet should be ashamed of themselves for mischaracterizing candace owens as someone who legitimizes adolf hitler. candace was legitimizing nationalism, not the atrocities inside and outside germany. commerce lose said candace owens clearly stated the following, if hitler just wanted to make germany great and have things run well, fine. the problem is he wanted to have dreams outside germany, those are her own words. the top trending topic on twitter nationwide. one twitter user says your firmness in your response is spot on but taylor says to, bringing the receipt which said he brought proof to support his point. shannon: a

. >> at the beginning we showed candace owens and a lot of the media has been around "the situation" where ted lou played the comments that candace owens made with respect to hitler as someone of the jewish faith. i thought it was very interesting that the republican party would bring her on as their almost spokesperson, so i'm surprised. could you embellish a little why that was the direction that the republican party decided to go? >> well, i think that the problem with mr. lou is that he was trying to have a gotcha moment and he was overwhelmed by the defense by ms. owens, because she said, you know, i'm talking about nationalism and what that's about. i'm talking about however ill adolf hitler was but he cherry picked a 30 second sound bite and when he was all said and done he had his hat in his hand because candace owens effective ly that that was what she intended when you take it out of context sure you can make anybody look bad, but we also had mr. kline there and i thought he did an exemplary job as well. i appreciated all the witnesses being there today. i just didn't appre

when you have somebody like me or candace owens or charlie cook or any of these people who are reallyust conservative thinkers, when you have people throw out that kind of language. number one, the language is offensive and incendiary, but the language is meant to shut down conversation. the language is meant to shut down opposing viewpoints. and i think you are absolutely right that there's a lot of fear mongering that goes on. too much fear mongering goes on on both sides. i always advocate for more conversation, not less. more ideas, not fewer. more discussion. i think that is the only way we going to move forward from this really specific point in history that we are at right now. host: in texas, republican line. tony, go ahead. caller: first of all i have to congratulate c-span on bringing on the gentleman like this. somebody over there clearly had some courage. they need to be congratulated. i'm a black man. i'm 63-year-old. i have been a democratic presidential voter since jimmy carter. i voted for jesse jackson when he ran. i even voted for hillary although i didn't want to be
