Sen. Bernie Sanders has served on the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s board for 18 years, but hasn’t attended a single meeting — inspiring a bipartisan push to oust him, The Post has learned.
Sanders (I-Vt.) was appointed in 2007 to the Holocaust Memorial Council, which meets twice a year to oversee the landmark DC museum located about 2 miles from the Capitol.
Records supplied to The Post by museum staff show that Sanders, who mainstreamed democratic socialism with grassroots campaigns for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016 and 2020, has missed every meeting of the board since his appointment.
“There are two large meetings every year where people fly in from all over the country for it. But Bernie Sanders couldn’t be bothered to walk across the road in DC,” said fellow board member Robert Garson, president of the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists.
“18 is a good number in Judaism, but not in this case,” quipped Wall Street executive Jonathan Burkan, another board member, who like Garson spoke in his personal capacity and not for the museum.
The council, established by an act of Congress in 1980, includes 55 members, presidentially appointed to five-year terms. Another 10 slots are filled by leaders of the House and Senate, with five members coming from each chamber.
Garson and Burkan, both appointed by President Trump, are among the dozen signers of a letter asking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to replace Sanders — citing his non-attendance and repeated claims that Israel has committed genocide in the Gaza Strip.
“In the current context, with Jew hatred and Holocaust distortion rising globally, it is imperative that Senate-appointed representatives on the Council are fully engaged and steadfastly supportive of its mission,” the letter says.

Can you blame him? That almost sounds like work!
Some Jew he is. But we already knew that
This says so much about Washington culture. Prominent people get appointed to boards like this all the time as a favor or because the organization wants to tout the name of the board member. Hunter Biden was appointed to the Amtrak board at one point. Its a circle of corruption and influence peddling. Any normal non-profit has a board development committee that reviews board members each time their term is up (I chair one). Someone who did not attend any meetings would not be renominated unless there was some other quid pro quo going on.
Bernie is a Communist. First and foremost.
Schumer’s no better.
The Bern is a marxist first and foremost. All other identifiers pale in comparison.

But one does have to ask, what are the accomplishments of these 55 people.?

Has Sanders EVER done anything for nothing?
Board members of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, known as the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, are typically not compensated for their service. They are appointed by the President and serve in a voluntary capacity.
the vanguard of the proletariat doesn’t have time for such things
old Bernie the Red probably takes pride in his having contributed to the spread of antisemitic bigotry
Jew in name only.
He’s about as legitimate as a Jew as he is a socialist.
From AI:
“Bernie Sanders’ net worth, estimated around $2 million by 2019 after his presidential run, reflects a significant increase from earlier years, with his assets including multiple homes and substantial savings, though he remains relatively modest compared to other senators. His finances have grown considerably, particularly after the 2016 campaign, moving him into millionaire status with assets like real estate and retirement funds, despite his socialist politics.”
Plus, board probably prefers that he not show up.
So senators are as lazy on their side gigs as they are on their primary job? What a surprise!
I serve as a volunteer leader of a national organization of about 80,000 members. The board has eight members.
One of the members missed or was very late to most of our meetings for several months. We didn’t wait 18 years to vote him off.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me eighteen times, shame on them.

The Early Warning Project assesses the risk of mass atrocities in countries around the world.
Genocide and mass atrocities are devastating crimes in their scale and scope, in their enduring psychic scars for survivors, and in the long-term trauma they cause in societies where they occur. Despite past efforts to address systematic killing, and a body of law formed after the Holocaust to prevent and punish perpetrators, such crimes persist.
We use quantitative and qualitative methods to spotlight countries where mass atrocities have not begun, but where the risk for such violence is high.
We strive to improve this early warning system for mass atrocities by using a variety of publicly available data and forecasting methods.
..........
An intrastate mass killing, by our definition, is the deliberate killing of 1,000 or more civilians within a country by armed forces in the same country (whether government or nonstate), over a period of a year or less, because of their membership in a particular group.
A socialist bum no-show.
