WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has dismissed many of former President Joe Biden’s nominees to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, including Doug Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Emhoff, who is Jewish and who led the Biden administration’s efforts to combat antisemitism, criticized Trump’s action, saying, “Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized.”
He added, “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.”
Others dismissed alongside Emhoff include former Biden chief of staff Ron Klain and former domestic policy adviser Susan Rice, who was the principal author of and the impetus behind the first-ever comprehensive National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism in 2023.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Since taking office in January Trump has moved to fire many Biden appointees across government — including ostensibly apolitical roles. Biden too dismissed some Trump carryover appointees after he entered the White House in 2021, most notably 18 appointees named to U.S. military academy boards, but at a far smaller scale.
““Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized.” ” As if his getting the job to begin with was /not/ about politics???
Biden did the same thing firing Trump appointees, and emerhoff is the one making it political, he was only appointed to it because he was married to the vp, his daughter raised funds for Hamas Gaza, his wife praised Hamas Nazi Supporter vandals, he is a JINO scum.
More Jews were lost to intermarriage than to the entire Holocaust.
While Emhoff two wives were not Jewish
His daughters praised and raised funds for Jew hating terrorists bien appointed him
Glad trump
Fired him
The holocuast has become so abused with DEI nonsense and needs to be cleaned up. No it wasn’t about LGBTQ being persecuted. That barely existed in the open then and its nonsense. Now as it pertains to “non jews” they were just lumped in once they went after jews. There are tons of eyewitness testimony how they kept jews separate and were alot harsher and torturous to jews. the main story of the Holocuast was about jews being persecuted. Its time to start saying the truth and stop being PC and DEI about it
All his kids are goyim!
An education system teaches & trains real skills skills & hard sciences not the propaganda of the day.
This is not at all unusual. Every president makes his own appointments to this commission. I know someone who was appointed by President Clinton and replaced when President Bush the younger became president. It’s only a story because Trump did this. Was there a mention when other presidents did the exact same thing?
Is he appointing hikind
