Kamala Harris' Husband Compares School Parents' Anger To Nazi-Hate
Vice President Kamala Harris' husband Doug Emhoff is being criticized for his recent comments that parents' anger at school boards is similar to Nazi-era hate.
"Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff was slammed online Wednesday for comparing the rhetoric of parents who spoke out against woke political ideology in schools at school board meetings to the hate espoused by Nazis during the Holocaust," reported Fox News.
The comment came during a conversation with Symone Sanders, the former spokesperson to Emhoff’s wife, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Emhoff spoke about a meeting he'd had with a Ukrainian Holocaust survivor-turned-Ukraine war refugee living in Berlin.
"We need to support [refugees]. I met one woman who was saved in the Holocaust in Germany, settled in Ukraine, and is now a refugee again back in Berlin where she originally left as a Jew in the Holocaust," Emhoff said.
"Hate is interconnected. You see it in the discourse in the country right now," Emhoff continued. "You see it in the divide that we have. Just going to school meetings, you see that hate that is out there."
Obviously, the comment did not sit well with many and received several social media interactions:

🚨WOW
Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, likens the hate that led to the Holocaust to the frustrations of parents speaking out at school board meetings.

It’s always easier to compare your political opponents to Nazis than to engage them with debate https://t.co/hIgx6tcvMk

It looks like President Joe Biden isn't the only one coming out of the White House with asinine comments that are just patently false. This is just sad.
