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."
