GREAT MOMENTS IN MORAL EQUIVALENCE: VP Harris’s husband likens outraged parents at school board meetings to hatred that led to the Holocaust.
While speaking about how to combat anti-Semitism, Vice President Kamala Harris’s husband, first gentleman Doug Emhoff, likened the hate that led to the Holocaust to the frustrations of parents at school board meetings.
Emhoff, who is Jewish, made the remarks at SXSW* in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, while recounting a recent trip to a concentration camp.
I met one woman who was saved in the Holocaust in Germany, settled in Ukraine, and is now a refugee again back in Berlin,” Emhoff recalled to Symone Sanders, a former aide to Vice President Kamala Harris, who was leading the interview.
This hate is interconnected,” he continued. “You see it in the discourse in the country right now. You see it in the divide that we have. Just going to school meetings you see that hate that is out there.”
Virginia’s Gov. Terry McAuliffe could not be reached for comment.

UPDATE: Ace of Spades adds:
Gina Carano was cancelled for referencing the Nazis in connection with modern-day woke purges.
But the left is permitted to make these comparisons. Pedro Pascal, Carano’s co-star on the Disney+ show The Mandalorian, repeated compared detaining illegal aliens sneaking across the border to concentration camps. Not a peep of controversy was heard.
I mean, the truth is that Disney+ actually fired Carano because she wouldn’t use transgender pronouns (as Pedro Pascal eagerly did). So they looked for any excuse to fire her which would not call attention to their “Not-So-Secret Gay Agenda,” or make the transgender extremists look like the bad guys.
So they blamed the Jews instead. I guess it’s a classic for a reason, huh, Disney?
