Biden yanks Jewish Trump pick from Holocaust site monitoring commission

President Joe Biden removed from a commission that monitors Holocaust sites a Trump appointee with ties to white supremacists.

In a letter obtained by a reporter for Politico, the White House asked Darren Beattie on January 14 to resign from the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad by the end of the day or be removed.

What do Free Republic readers think of this?

[eclectic]

Disgraceful.

[bhl]

White supremacist Jews? Who knew.

It’s easy to see why they might not like Beattie!

[Noumenon]

Sick petty bastards.

[enumerated]

White supremacist my ass. It’s because Beattie is exposing the fact that Jan 6 was an FBI false flag operation.

New appointtee:

C. Jonathan Greenwald, a former diplomat, is active with J Street.

FIRED:

Darren Beattie has vociferously defended Trump’s policies limiting the entry of Muslims into the United States.

“According to the Southern Poverty Law Center,”

What kind of ‘ties to white supremacists’? That means whatever Bidenistas want it to mean.

Why does Biden hate the Jews?

#AntiSemite

“Beattie, who is Jewish, had been a speechwriter for Trump until it was revealed in 2018 that he had two years earlier attended a conference of the H.L. Mencken Club. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, the conference “has hosted some of America’s most prominent white nationalist ideologues in the past, and serves as a safe space for professors to vent their racist views.”

Beattie appeared at the conference on a panel with Peter Brimelow, a white nationalist who runs the anti-immigrant website VDare. Beattie has vociferously defended Trump’s policies limiting the entry of Muslims into the United States.”

Pretty thin gruel. Southern Poverty Law Center calls everyone racist. Trump’s policies limiting the entry of Muslims from specific countries to the US is highly defensible, and was upheld by the courts. Modern-day McCarthyism.

[bagster]

Nope. The Southern Poverty Law Center don't get to decide whose a 'white supremacist'. Being against illigal immigration don't make you one, and being against moslem savages coming into this country don't make you one either.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is a disgrace and an enemy of the American people.

And Biden hates the Jews, just like all democrats do.

[ArcadeQuarters]

with ties to white supremacists.

This is BS 99.9999% of the time.

[UnwashedPeasant]

The usual fake news.

[Eleutheria5]

“And Biden hates the Jews, just like all democrats do.”

Including Jewish Democrats.

The article link to by the Jerusalem Post does not state "white supremacist" but rather "white nationalist", which for all I know could refer to an anti-globalist who happens to be white.

Here is the lefty Village Voice characterization of the H.L. Mencken Club:

In truth, there might be better adjectives to describe the Mencken Club: Archaic. Dusty. Overwhelmingly geriatric.

The club’s activities seem to begin and end with precisely one thing: holding an annual conference, where mostly aging male guests talk about the Crucial Issues as they see them. Are too many black and brown people coming to America? Is the GOP slipping too far to the left? And will “noisy feminists” (Gottfried’s term) ever be shut up? Photos from 2009 show beaming attendees posing with the guest of honor, the partially fossilized Pat Buchanan.

Let me know if there’s any evidence of “white supremacy” in the essay. Can’t find anything much about Bradford K. Smith’s views, other than that he’s involved with a lot of foundations.

My half educated 2 cents: Biden is going after a easy target, not a real one.
