Biden Appointees Fired from U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council

Biden's Holocaust Council appointees were axed in a dangerous move against Jewish remembrance.

The latest target for the convicted felon are President Biden’s appointees to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. This is just the latest effort in his weaponization of antisemitism.

The New York Times reports:

“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.”

It’s disappointing that the felon has no regard for presidential tradition when it comes to appointments to boards.

According to The New York Times:

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; and Susan Rice, the national security adviser to former President Barack Obama and Mr. Biden’s top domestic policy adviser; and Anthony Bernal, a senior adviser to Jill Biden, the former first lady.

Many of them were only appointed at the beginning of 2025, according to a press release. I’m not sure how many of them were fired. But here’s the list of those appointed in January:

  • Anthony R. Bernal

  • Mandana Dayani

  • Stacy Eichner

  • Second Gentleman Douglas C. Emhoff

  • Jon Finer

  • Meredith Jachowicz

  • Ronald A. Klain

  • Jennifer Klein

  • Thomas E. Perez

  • Susan E. Rice

  • Matthew Segal

  • Mary J. Zients

We’ll see what other prominent names were dismissed when the USHMM next updates the Council listing on its website.

The Council, which meets twice a year, consists of 55 members appointed by the president, as well as five members each from the Senate and House of Representatives and three ex-officio members from the Departments of Education, Interior, and State. Presidential appointments serve for a five-year term; 11 members’ terms expire each year.

This is what happens when an immature man-child occupies the White House and there aren’t enough members of Congress capable of actually representing their country and getting him out of there. We are in a Constitutional crisis and the man is just doing whatever he can to shred democracy to bits.

I hope that there’s a lawsuit to undo the firings because I will not sit idle as Jews are used as a scapegoat once again. Nothing about this is normal.
