NYT Magazine Asked People If They’d Kill Baby Hitler, and Twitter Is Having a Field Day
Dear Friday,
We here at Mediaite love you very, very much. Why? Because after covering the monstrosity that was the umpteenth Benghazi hearing for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, you gifted us with a fantastic tweet from the official New York Times Magazine account.
The premise? NYTM asked readers “If you could go back and kill Hitler as a baby, would you do it?”
The response? 30 percent said no, 28 percent said they were unsure and 42 percent answered yes.

The response to the original premise (and its first response)? Gloriously presented, free of charge, by the wonderful world of Twitter.

Kudos to the first intrepid reporter who asks Ben Carson the Baby Hitler Q. Guaranteed to get the most insane response ever.

Was baby Hitler the inventor of peas in guacamole?
