Malkin wrote a book saying that it was okay that we put 112,000 Japanese in internment camps. “Sixty-two percent of the internees were United States citizens.”
“In 1976 Pres. Gerald R. Ford officially repealed Executive Order 9066. He used that opportunity to express regret for that policy:
February 19th is the anniversary of a sad day in American history. It was on that date in 1942…that Executive Order 9066 was issued…resulting in the uprooting of loyal Americans….We now know what we should have know then—not only was that evacuation wrong, but Japanese Americans were and are loyal Americans….I call upon the American people to affirm with me this American Promise—that we have learned from the tragedy of that long-ago experience forever to treasure liberty and justice for each individual American, and resolve that this kind of action shall never again be repeated.”
Alex Jones was offended by Malkins claims that internment was the right thing to do.
He’s bombastic, but he did get his point across.
Not all Japanese Americans were loyal. The reason for the Japanese internment was that, with an attack on or even invasion of the US west coast believed imminent, there were numerous active Japanese spy and sabotage cells. As internment went into effect, they all signed off.
Michelle was ultimately bringing in to question the possibility of dealing with internment with Muslims Americans. And if you know anything about Muslims and Islam you would know that it’s a very valid question. But I don’t care if it was Hillary Clinton that Jones was attacking in the video. I’ve heard enough from Jones in the past to question his motives, but that video was flat-out Despicable and tells me all I need to know about the man.
