Husband of Kamala Harris calls move political and decries turning historical atrocity into ‘a wedge issue’
The Trump administration has fired several members of the US Holocaust Memorial Council appointed by Joe Biden, including Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris.
Emhoff described the move as a political decision that turned “one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue”.
He said he had been informed on Tuesday of his removal from the board, which oversees the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and other Holocaust commemorations.
“Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized,” Emhoff said in a statement. “To turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous – and it dishonors the memory of six million Jews murdered by Nazis that this museum was created to preserve.”
Why the fuck are these all government institutions instead of non profits? Don’t let politicians appoint their mates to stuff like that.
Even if they were non-profit, Donald would still damn interfere.
It’s not right for Biden to be able to appoint people to that either, it’s not like Emhoff is a holocaust scholar or anything. Politicians should be kept far away from this shit in general.
