Hemmer later corrected his stupidity, sort of.

On Fox News Tuesday, anchor Bill Hemmer made a major mix-up of political history when he appeared to credit philosopher Karl Marx with writing "Mein Kampf."
"I remember 20 years old going to Trier, Germany and trying to find the home of Karl Marx cuz, y'know, 1848 — he wrote 'Mein Kampf'," said Hemmer during the segment. "I want to know what it's all about."
Marx and Friedrich Engels were the authors of "The Communist Manifesto," which was published in 1848. "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle") was written by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi dictator who was instrumental to developing fascism, and published in 1925.
Apparently, Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer thinks Karl Marx wrote Mein Kampf.

Later on in the program, Bill Hemmer says he misspoke when he said Karl Marx wrote Mein Kampf.

A mortified Dana Perino said nothing, of course.
Dana knew! You can see it in her face! 🤣😂🤣 These people really do just have a chunk of "bad things" in their brain that they don't feel the need to know the definitions or histories of.
