You're Fired: Trump Kicks Doug Emhoff off U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council
Share this @internewscast.com

President Donald Trump fired former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council, along with others nominated by President Joe Biden, on Tuesday, his 100th day in office.

Emhoff’s firing is particularly significant because the Biden administration tasked him with leading its so-called “strategy” against antisemitism — a watered-down plan that backed away from previous commitments to consider extreme anti-Israel criticism antisemitic, and which failed to stop anti-Jewish hatred in the wake of the Hamas terror attack against Israel on October 7, 2023, which triggered a wave of antisemitic protests and attacks.

The New York Times reported:

The Trump administration has begun firing at least some of former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s appointees to the board that oversees the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, including Douglas Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, and other senior Biden White House officials.

“Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council,” Mr. Emhoff said in a statement on Tuesday. “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.”

The other officials who were dismissed include Ron Klain, Mr. Biden’s first chief of staff; Tom Perez, the former labor secretary and senior adviser to Mr. Biden; Susan Rice, the national security adviser to former President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden’s top domestic policy adviser who led a major national strategic effort to counter antisemitism; and Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden, the former first lady.

Ironically, Trump has been able to fire many Biden appointees to various councils and offices because of the Biden administration’s insistence on firing people whom Trump had appointed in his first term, including former Press Secretary Sean Spicer. That purge, upheld by the Supreme Court, paved the way for Trump to do the same. “Now all of these Biden appointees are paying the price for what Biden did,” Spicer said.
