Candace Owens is facing another wave of criticism after suggesting that some of the gruesome medical experiments performed on Jewish children during the Holocaust were nothing more than "bizarre propaganda."

On Tuesday, a clip of the controversial conservative political commentator talking about the Holocaust and Nazi experiments on "innocent people" and "twins" went viral on X, formerly Twitter.

"Some of the stories, by the way, sound completely absurd," Owens said during an episode of her podcast "Candace" originally released on July 3. "They just cut a human up and sewed them back together? Why would you do that?"

Owens went on to say that "literally, even if you're the most evil person in the world, that's a tremendous waste of time and supplies."

"That just sounds like bizarre propaganda," she claimed.

Owens was seemingly referring to the experiments conducted by Nazi physician Josef Mengele on prisoners at Nazi concentration camps, including Auschwitz.

Known as the "Angel of Death," Mengele conducted "grisly and often fatal" medical experiments primarily on twins to "uncover the secrets of genetics," according to the William P. Didusch Center for Urologic History.

Mengele's atrocities included infecting prisoners with diseases, transfusing blood from a sick twin to the other, amputating healthy limbs and injecting chloroform injection into the heart.

Owens' remarks sparked immediate backlash on social media, with one person accusing her of being "monstrous and deeply antisemitic."

"I would have never ... guessed she had the ability to sink this low," another X user commented.

A third user wrote, "When we refuse to understand how monstrous human beings can become we risk becoming those monsters ourselves."

"I agree with Candace on many things. On this occasion, I do not agree with her. Unbelievable take on a horrific and proven time in history," a fan of Owens commented.

Darrell Scott, a pastor and adviser to former President Donald Trump, also chimed in, writing: "I tried to tell everybody about her. You accused me of being jealous. I'm owed several apologies."

Owens responded to the backlash on Wednesday's episode of her podcast, claiming that Democrats and critics were attacking her after taking her words out of context.

"I'm very aware of why I'm being attacked," she claimed. "I am talking about Christian history. I am talking about the fact that Christians were mass murdered across Europe and that Americans were sold lies about that murder."

"So they've taken out of context a clip because what they don't want people to see is the BBC documentary that I went over in that episode," she added.

Owens was referring to the 2015 documentary, "1945: The Savage Peace," which "reveals the appalling violence meted out to the defeated, especially to those ethnic Germans who had lived peacefully for centuries in neighboring countries," after the end of World War II, according to its synopsis.

Owens claimed that what happened to German civilians and German Christians was "hidden" from many Americans before she brought attention to it.

"So they want me gone," she claimed. "Because then what falls apart is this entire narrative that we're always fighting the bad guys."
