Trump Politicizing Holocaust Remembrance? Oppose His Personal Vendettas

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

President Trump’s removal of Doug Emhoff and other Biden appointees from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Council politicizes Holocaust remembrance and undermines the museum's nonpartisan mission. Emhoff, the first Jewish spouse of a U.S. vice president, actively fought against antisemitism. This action reflects a troubling pattern of retribution, where Trump has also purged Biden-era appointees from other federal boards. Such moves raise questions about their benefit to Americans and whether they serve personal vendettas. I urge you to oppose the politicization of nonpartisan institutions and advocate for merit-based appointments that honor the institutions' missions.
