Anyone who claims that the White House proclamation’s wording was not intentional is complicit in aiding and abetting Holocaust denial.

With his well documented history of anti-semitism, there was no way that Bannon was going to allow a statement to be issued from his WH that acknowledges the specific targeting and extermination of Jews!

And these bungling idiots really ought to at least try to get their stories straight - between this and the Muslim ban/not a ban, they’ve fucked up two major statements in just, what’s it been, 48 hours?

Spicer on Holocaust Statement Blowback: “You’re nitpicking.”

Extra points for deftly slipping in the delousing allusion, Sean.

What’s next, wily references to ovens and gold teeth?

Absent any mention of the Nazi genocide directed against six million Jews,the Trump White House’s statement serves the ends of Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites. For that reason alone, The WH statement is despicable.

Spicer said that Trump “went out of his way to recognize the Holocaust.”

Yeah, gee wiz, everybody! Give the guy a break. I mean, he is a busy man tweeting and and signing idiotic EO’s for Christ’s sake. Give the guy a break, eh?

The Trump family was expelled from Germany when Donnie’s grandfather Frederic refused to serve in the military before WWI. At the time all German males were required to serve. So Frederic went back to the US where he became a slum landlord…followed by his son Fred. Fred was an active member of the KKK and he resisted the US war effort against Hitler. Now we Donnie - refused to serve by dodging the draft 3 times, and he hasn’t paid income taxes in 18 years.

The US should expel Trump - let the Germans deal with him.

Don’t forget that Pappy Fred passed himself off as “Swedish” because he didn’t want to turn off the potential Jewish tenants while opening discriminating against people of color.

The lying seems to be passed down from father to son to son to son in the PeePee Klan.

For anyone who hasn’t gotten it yet, this is part of the "All Lives Matter" meme from those who don’t believe any lives matter except theirs.

Deplorable

“An accurate understanding of this history is critical if we are to learn its lessons and honor its victims.”

Accuracy is now optional; we have alternative facts at our disposal now.

“Accurate history is critical”

Duh…that’s precisely why they’re constantly trying to rewrite it.
