Doug Emhoff fired from Holocaust Memorial Museum Board by DJT [View all]
As the daughter of a Holocaust survivor, I am horrified and furious about this news, which falls in line with the DJT administration's deeply ingrained anti-Semitism, sadism, racism and politically driven revenge:

'Doug Emhoff, the husband of former vice president Kamala Harris, accused the Trump administration of turning “one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue”, after he and other Joe Biden appointees were removed from the board of the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Emhoff, who is Jewish and spoke passionately against the rising tide of antisemitism during his time as the Second Gentleman, said he was informed on Tuesday that he had been removed from the museum’s 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,” he said.
“No divisive 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.”
The New York Times reported that the Trump administration also fired Ron Klain, Biden’s first chief of staff, Susan Rice, national security adviser to Barack Obama and Biden’s top domestic policy adviser, and Tom Perez, the former labor secretary who was a senior advisor to the former president.'
