Did the Nazis use free speech to carry out the Holocaust?

No, free speech was not used to conduct the Holocaust. The genocide was carried out by an authoritarian Nazi regime that was fundamentally opposed to free expression. As explained in the clip, the Holocaust was perpetrated because the Nazi regime hated Jews, minorities, and others they targeted, not because of free speech principles. This misconception conflates state oppression with free expression. The Nazi regime was genocidal due to its authoritarian, hateful ideology, not because of free speech. The clip challenges the claim made by CBS's Margaret Brennan, who incorrectly suggested that free speech was weaponized to carry out the Holocaust when discussing J.D. Vance's speech on free expression.
