Lawmakers and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum overwhelmingly condemned Rep. Mary Miller for praising Adolf Hitler in a speech outside the U.S. Capitol building, one day before pro-Donald Trump rioters stormed the building.

The 61-year-old Miller, a first-term Republican from Illinois, said: “Hitler was right on one thing, that whoever has the youth has the future”.

Miller made the widely rebuked comment during a two-minute speech at a “Moms for America Saving the Republic” event outside the Capitol organized by the conservative group Moms for America. Her remarks were soon denounced by colleagues, as well as the Holocaust Museum.

“The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum unequivocally condemns any leader trying to advance a position by claiming Adolf Hitler was “right”, the museum said in a statement. “Adolf Hitler’s Germany plunged Europe into the most destructive event in human history, World War II and the Holocaust resulting in the genocide of six million European Jews”.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Illinois, tweeted: “I outright condemn this garbage”.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker called them “unfathomable and disgusting remarks”.

“Let me be clear: Hitler got nothing right”, - Pritzker said, adding, “Illinois Republicans cannot allow this to stand, and must condemn this vile, evil streak in their party”.
