OLD CLIP: Outrage as Fox News anchor, Bill Hemmer, said Karl Marx wrote Mein Kampf.
“I remember 20 years old going to Trier, Germany, and trying to find the home of Karl Marx, cause, you know, 1848 – he wrote Mein Kampf,” Hemmer said on America’s Newsroom.
“I want to know what it was all about.”
Later in the show Hemmer admitted his mistake, saying: “I misspoke. 1848. Karl Marx. The Communist Manifesto.
Another tweeted that the mistake was the epitome of Fox News, “Bill Hemmer not knowing Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf pretty much sums up FOX *news.*”
“I was so passionate about studying Charles Darwin at college I flew to England to try and find his house, because you know, he wrote The Satanic Verses, and that was like incredible”, a third Twitter user sarcastically added.
Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen had said that college students should be the ones studying difficult ideologies, not youngsters in grade schools.
That is when Mr Hemmer said that he believed teaching CRT at university was “fair game” and mistakenly explained his own previous interest in Karl Marx.
