Einstein's political views are a cautionary warning to all that a great genius in one field may be a complete moron in another.

He could never bring himself to criticize Josef Stalin, though he lived long enough for most of Stalin's crimes to be revealed. He also thought the US should give up nuclear weapons to international control.

He was, like Newton, the kind of physicist who comes along once in a few hundred years. But outside of physics he was little better than a child.

“He was, like Newton, the kind of physicist who comes along once in a few hundred years.”

Very wrong.
