Bye bye Doug!
Washington, D.C. — Former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff is drawing heat after publicly attacking the Trump administration for removing him from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council—an advisory board that helps guide the Holocaust Memorial Museum’s mission of remembrance and education.
Emhoff, husband to former Vice President Kamala Harris, was appointed to the council by President Joe Biden. His removal—alongside other Biden-era appointees—is part of what many view as President Donald Trump’s broader effort to return credibility and accountability to federal institutions.
🔹 Emhoff’s Outburst Draws Fire
In a fiery social media statement, Emhoff claimed the administration was “politicizing” Holocaust remembrance. “Let me be clear,” he posted, “to turn one of the worst atrocities in history into a wedge issue is dangerous—it dishonors the memory of six million Jews.”
Critics, however, see his remarks as yet another politically charged attack against President Trump—one that ignores the administration’s aggressive efforts to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish communities.
🔹 Trump Stands Firm Against Antisemitism
Since returning to office, President Trump has made defending Jewish Americans a cornerstone of his agenda. His administration has taken bold steps—arresting pro-Hamas agitators on college campuses and threatening to defund elite universities like Harvard if they fail to root out antisemitic and anti-American ideologies.
In a time of rising antisemitism, especially following the horrific October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel, President Trump has led with clarity and conviction—standing shoulder-to-shoulder with America’s Jewish allies.
🔹 Emhoff’s Record Under Scrutiny
Emhoff’s critics also point to his previous blunders, including basic factual errors about Jewish traditions—such as misrepresenting the origins of Hanukkah. These gaffes, paired with his history of inflammatory rhetoric, have caused many to question whether his role on the council was ever about education, or merely about politics.
He previously labeled President Trump as a “threat to Jews,” calling him “an agent of chaos and cruelty”—a claim that many view as both inaccurate and divisive.
🔹 Museum Responds with Measured Support
A spokesperson for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum responded to the controversy, telling Fox News Digital, “At this time of high antisemitism and Holocaust distortion and denial, the Museum is gratified that our visitation is robust and demand for Holocaust education is increasing.”
The representative added, “We look forward to continuing to advance our vitally important mission as we work with the Trump Administration.”
🔹 A Troubling Trend?
According to experts, the real concern may not be the personnel changes—but the growing attempt by left-wing figures to use sacred institutions as political weapons. “This isn’t about history—it’s about narrative control,” one insider noted.
Conservatives argue it’s time to bring integrity back to America’s most revered institutions and reject partisan messaging disguised as public service.
