I hope he doesn’t back down, but he should have used “KGB” instead. It would have precluded this particular line of faux-offendedness.

It doesn't matter. He could have compared them to the Smurfs, and the Democrats would have feigned outrage over his remarks.

Of course, they would have feigned outrage My point was that KGB serves the purpose just as well and they cannot use THIS PARTICULAR line of “trivializing the Holocaust.” Sure, they’d have used a different rationale for outrage, but the “Holocaust” riposte is a hanging pitch waiting to be hit out of the park. Why make their job easier?
