In the House on Tuesday morning, the Illinois Republican Mary E Miller acted as speaker pro tempore to oversee debate on the Republican antisemitism awareness bill.

As a choice, it was not without irony. Miller made headlines in 2021, when as a newly elected member of Congress she was forced to apologise after saying in a speech at the Capitol: “Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future.’ Our children are being propagandised.”

So basically the entire US political establishment has decided that saying "Hitler was right" and echoing conspiracy theories of Jewish Marxists corrupting the youth is just a "difference in opinion" whereas pro-Palestinian activists should be shut down without debate.
