As Twitchy told you earlier, CNN embarrassed themselves yet again today, pushing an absurd take on Martin Luther King Jr. that praised him as some sort of socialist hipster.
The Daily Wire’s Elisha Krauss was among the many who called CNN out for that:
news organization wrongly stating MLK was a socialist. millions who died under socialism would prob disagree with @CNN's statement it's "cool" https://t.co/mFx1SjB0SS

Krauss’ perfectly reasonable — not to mention correct — response really didn’t sit well with Columbia prof Anthony Zenkus. So, he figured he’d correct her:
Odd how you forget the millions who died under #capitalism. The two world wars, centuries of slavery and the genocide of native americans. Bet they didn't think that was cool either. https://t.co/8Fr4WYA7vD

Oh.

But wait! There’s more:
i suppose we could have just let the Nazis do their thing…
but let "prof" zenkus be a lesson to any of you who think Nazism is anything other than a movement of the left. https://t.co/mh4eyc97mk

Hitler was a capitalist. Good friends with Henry Ford. Please, use the Google machine. It's there for all of us. https://t.co/sL3PqlyM4l

Clearly the good professor hasn’t taken advantage of the Google machine.
Seriously, what do you even say to a guy like that?
I take it you aren't a history professor

We sincerely hope not.
You think WWI and WWII were fought because of capitalism? Bless your heart. https://t.co/cQyLOQS1mL

And maybe find a new career while you’re at it. Preferably that won’t let you anywhere near young minds.
Unnerving to realize he’s a university professor.

You are a moron. Please don't be teaching our children.
