    A statement from President Trump marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day omitted any mention of Jews or anti-Semitism, a departure from recent bipartisan precedent set by previous presidents.

    The statement calls for remembrance of “victims, survivors, heroes,” but nowhere does it mention the millions of Jewish people killed during the Holocaust, nor does it mention the ideology of anti-Semitism that led to the killings.

    I would guess he would be fired from either Bush administration, Reagan's admin, any Democrat admin, for saying this, but not in Trump's admin.

    When it comes to the Holocaust, All Sufferers Matter.

    I saw it this morning....Looks like it (along with rude behavior) to Chuck Todd are now the norm... probably being encouraged even!

    Its the beginning of the Alternate Right agenda...IE a vocal turf war with the media. :Whistling

    Not mentioning the reason for Holocaust Remembrance Day may be just a wee bit of an oversight, don't you think?

    Not really. Unless you're a Trump hater.

    I think most people know what the holocaust was.

    He can't issue an Executive Order banning a particular religion, but he is expected to mention a particular religion/ethnicity on a day of remembrance?

    This should replace whatever is in the dictionary as an example of conflating two issues.

    Or else find a spot in the definition for moronic.

    So he can't prohibit the free exercise of religion, but he can respect an establishment of religion?

    Acknowledging a historical event is not establishing a religion.

    He can't do either.

    Also, refer to ITL's post about why this isn't an establishment of religion issue.

    Then acknowledging 9-11 as The Day Muslims Viciously Attacked America would not be prohibiting the free exercise of religion?

    No. It would just be horrendously stupid.
