“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 a live mic on America’s Newsroom where hosts discuss whether elementary schools should teach critical race theory.

Hemmer later admitted his mistake on the show, saying: “I misspoke. 1848. Karl Marx. The Communist Manifesto.”
