President Trump has dismissed several of President Biden's nominees to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, including Doug Emhoff, the husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. Emhoff criticized this move, emphasizing that Holocaust remembrance should not be politicized, and warned against using such historical atrocities as a political wedge. The dismissals extended to other prominent figures like Ron Klain and Susan Rice, indicating a broader trend of political purges within the government by both Trump and Biden administrations.
Let me be clear: Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. 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.
Trump has moved to fire many Biden appointees across government, including ostensibly apolitical roles. This action continues a trend of partisan dismissals by both administrations.
