Doug Emhoff Rages As President Trump Reclaims Holocaust Board From Biden's Political Cronies — RedState

2025-04-30

[REDSTATE] Former second gentleman Doug Emhoff got some pretty brutal news from President Trump on Tuesday: You're fired. Emhoff, along with a slew of other high-profile Democrats

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
, was summarily dismissed from his role on the board that oversees the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.

And Emhoff, who is Jewish, is not one bit pleased, accusing the president of playing politics with "Holocaust remembrance and education." Here's what Emhoff told one outlet after learning of his dismissal:

''Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. 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,'' Emhoff said in a statement to The Hill.

''No divisive
...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled...
political decision will ever shake my commitment to Holocaust remembrance and education or to combatting hate and antisemitism. I will continue to speak out, to educate, and to fight hate in all its forms—because silence is never an option,'' he added.

Emhoff was just one of a handful of prominent Democrats who got the boot. Also sent packing were:

Ron Klain, former chief of staff to Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Gave an airbase and billions in military hardware to the Taliban and called it an extraordinary success...
Susan Rice, Biden's director of Domestic Policy Council of the United States
Tom Perez, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee
Anthony Bernal, who was an advisor to former First Lady Jill Biden

Here's the thing, though, about Emhoff's claim that the dismissals were politically motivated: The now-dismissed slate of lefty politicos were appointed by Joe Biden on his way out of the White House. Yes, the appointments were made on January 17, 2025, in what can only be described as a last-minute, overtly political attempt to stack the Holocaust Museum board with leftists.

#3 I could be wrong but I'm thinking this was nothing but a cushy sinecure. REDSTATE should have asked about it.
