Trump boots Doug Emhoff off of Holocaust Memorial Council
Former Vice President Kamala Harris and former second gentleman Doug Emhoff suffered quite a bit of embarrassment in the 2024 election, and it appears that the family continues to take humiliating blows.
According to Breitbart, it was reported this week that President Donald Trump "fired former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council."
Emhoff and a handful of others -- all of whom were appointed by former President Joe Biden -- were booted off of the council this week, according to reports.
Trump's decision to kick them off of the councile came on his 100th day in office, making the date even more memorable and fantastic for the Trump administration.
What happened?
Breitbart described Emhoff's position on the council as somewhat "significant," given he was specially tasked by President Biden with a special "strategy" to fight antisemitism, although he obviously didn't take it seriously.
Emhoff announced that his time on the council had ended this week.
"Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council," Emhoff said in a statement on Tuesday.
The former second gentleman added, "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."
Several others were also kicked off of the council.
Breitbart noted:
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.
