Samuel -- what I'm about to share with you is shocking and
tone-deaf.

During today's press briefing, White House Press Secretary
Sean Spicer casually dismissed the history of the Holocaust,
denying that Hitler "gassed his own people" and claiming
that he "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons."

Even if this was a case of simple ignorance, there has been
a vein of anti-Semitism running through the Trump
administration since Day One.

Denying the atrocities committed by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
regime is a tried-and-true tactic used by neo-Nazi and white
supremacist groups that have become emboldened since
Donald Trump first announced his campaign for president.
Some of those groups were quick to heap praise on Spicer
for his comments today, just as they did when the White
House failed to mention the Jewish community in their
statement marking Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The Trump administration has similarly dismissed the rise in
hate crimes since Trump was elected, the increase in
bomb threats against Jewish community centers, and
the desecration of Jewish cemeteries. At a recent press
conference, Donald Trump personally called the Jewish
reporter asking about these acts of hatred a liar.

And Trump has elevated white supremacists to senior
positions in his administration. At one point, he even
rearranged the National Security Council to include his
white supremacist chief strategist, Steve Bannon.

Rejecting and denouncing anti-Semitism from the White
House is a low-enough bar that even this administration
can clear.

The Trump administration must apologize for this
outrageous statement and their pattern of anti-Semitism,
and fire white supremacists like Steve Bannon. Now.
