© Ron Sachs – CNP for NY PostDoug Emhoff was appointed to the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, in January and was expected to serve a five-year term.
Emhoff, the husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, was among several Biden administration appointees to the board removed by President Trump.
"Today, I was informed of my removal from the United States Holocaust Memorial Council," Emhoff said in a statement posted on X. "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 — who is Jewish and served on former President Joe Biden's White House antisemitism task force after a startling rise in the scourge after the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel — was appointed to the board in January and was slated to serve a five-year term.
Ron Klain, Biden's former chief of staff; Tom Perez, a former Biden White House adviser; Anthony Bernal, an ex-adviser to former first lady Jill Biden; and Susan Rice, national security adviser to former President Barack Obama, were also recently ousted from the Holocaust museum board, a White House official confirmed.
The New York Times first reported on the firings.
"On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as a member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council is terminated, effective immediately," read an email from the White House Presidential Personnel Office, informing the board members of their removal, according to the outlet.
"Thank you for your service."
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told The Post that Trump is aiming to replace the ousted board members with stronger supporters of Israel.
"President Trump looks forward to appointing new individuals who will not only continue to honor the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, but who are also steadfast supporters of the State of Israel," she said in a statement.
In Blighty, not 150 years ago, the people had no social support whatsoever, apart from selling one's soul to a god driven system. It's only when the gov't at the time realised they couldn't run an empire with serfs so feeble that they started to care about the welfare of the people. The public of the western nations have been fodder for centuries. It's time we woke up proper.
