Doug Emhoff lashes out after Trump removes him from Holocaust Memorial Council

Former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff lashed out at the Trump administration, accusing it of politicizing the Holocaust and dishonoring the memory of six million murdered Jews after he was removed from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.

The Holocaust Memorial Council oversees the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. Most of the members of the council are appointed by the president and serve five-year terms.

Emhoff, who is Jewish and is married to former Vice President Kamala Harris, was appointed to the council by former President Joe Biden.

Along with Emhoff, the Trump administration also removed several other council members appointed by Biden, according to The Hill.

After receiving news of his dismissal from the council, Emhoff took to social media to slam the administration, saying it was turning "one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue."

Did Biden remove any Council members to make room for his appointees?

That would count as "politicizing" ...

Likely no nannies at the Museum so he was never there anyway.

Doug Emhoff's family migrated from Galicia, Austro-Hungarian Empire, in the 1890s, well before the Holocaust.

Put Gene Simmons on the Holocaust Memorial Council ... his mother was held in a Nazi concetration camp.

Although I don't see Doug listed (this is for 2023), compensation rates are interesting, and all flights are apparently First Class...

If he was getting these day rates or in line to, no wonder he's squawking

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
