Trump sacks Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff
What Happened?
Doug Emhoff, the former Second Gentleman and husband of ex-Vice President Kamala Harris, has been abruptly removed from the board of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. The move comes as the Trump administration clears out Biden-era appointees—replacing them with new members who align more closely with its stance on Israel.
Emhoff, who is Jewish and a vocal advocate against antisemitism, was appointed to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council in January for a five-year term. But his tenure was cut short after a terse email from the White House informed him and several other Biden allies that their roles were terminated—”effective immediately.”
Why It Matters
The Holocaust Museum’s board is supposed to be a bipartisan effort, with members guiding policies to honor the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis. But Emhoff didn’t mince words in his response on X (formerly Twitter):
“Holocaust remembrance and education should never be politicized. Turning this tragedy into a wedge issue is dangerous—and it dishonors the memory of those this museum exists to protect.”
Who Else Got the Ax?
Emhoff wasn’t alone. Other high-profile Biden appointees were also shown the door, including:
Ron Klain (Biden’s former chief of staff)
Tom Perez (ex-White House adviser)
Anthony Bernal (former aide to Jill Biden)
Susan Rice (Obama’s national security adviser)
The White House’s Stance
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the move, saying Trump plans to appoint new members who are “steadfast supporters of Israel.”
“The President wants board members who honor Holocaust victims while standing firmly with Israel,” she said in a statement.
The Bigger Picture
The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, founded in 1993, has long been a place for bipartisan remembrance. But this sudden purge raises questions: Is this about policy—or politics? And what does it mean for the future of Holocaust education?
One thing’s clear: The debate over how history should be remembered is far from over.
What do you think? Should Holocaust remembrance stay neutral—or is this a necessary shift? Sound off in the comments!
