Simply if you assume UFC featherweight Bryce Mitchell’s bigotry can’t sink any decrease, he goes off on a rant hailing Adolf Hitler as “a very good man” whereas proving he’s homophobic and justifying the Holocaust – which he denies even occurred.
We shouldn’t be shocked that Mitchell believes this. In spite of everything, he’s a flat-earth conspiracy theorist, a full-blown MAGA guy and customarily simply an unhinged human being. However to listen to him say it out loud on the primary episode of his “ArkanSanity Podcast,” and with such ardour and conviction, was nonetheless jarring.
What began as a response to the recent controversy over Elon Musk’s Nazi-like salute at a post-inauguration Donald Trump rally rapidly went off the rails.
“Right here’s what I say about (Musk) heiling Hitler, heiling the Nazis: I actually don’t assume that he was, as a result of I actually assume that Hitler was a very good man based mostly upon my very own analysis, not my public training indoctrination,” Mitchell mentioned.
Proper then and there you knew the place this was going. Mitchell continued, “I actually do assume earlier than Hitler acquired on meth, he was a man I’d go fishing with. He fought for his nation. He needed to purify it by kicking the grasping Jews out, that had been destroying his nation and turning all of them into gays. They had been gaying out the children. They had been queering out the ladies. They had been queering out the dudes. Have you learnt the place the primary tranny surgical procedure ever was? Occurred to be in Germany earlier than Hitler took over. You understand the books that everyone makes enjoyable of Hitler burning? You understand what the books was? Queer books! Hitler burned queer books as a result of Hitler didn’t need a bunch of queers destroying his nation. They’ll’t produce kids.
“When he acquired on meth and he turned on Russia, I imagine that’s when he sort of went full nutty. And I don’t assume that he was similar to the very best dude ever. Once I say I’d go fishing with him, I’m not saying he was probably the most reliable dude, or I’d love him or no matter. However sooner or later in Hitler’s life, I don’t assume he was that unhealthy of a man. I actually don’t. Now, was Hitler good? No, however he was combating for his folks, and he needed a pure nation.”

When co-host Roli Delgado pushed again just a bit bit by responding how terrible it was for Hitler to “put a complete race (of individuals) into camps,” Mitchell reduce him off and went into full Holocaust-denial mode.
“That’s what your public training will let you know, Roli, since you imagine your public training, since you haven’t finished your individual analysis,” Mitchell responded. “Whenever you notice there’s no potential manner they may’ve burned and cremated 6 million our bodies, you’re gonna notice that the Holocaust ain’t actual.”
Surprisingly, Mitchell was not wearing a white gown and hood when he mentioned this.
