Jewish organizations have condemned Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff for comparing anger at school board meetings to hatred surrounding the Holocaust.

Recalling his recent visit to Europe, Emhoff told MSNBC host Symone Sanders that his experience meeting a Holocaust survivor—now a Ukrainian refugee in Germany following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—made him think of a parallel between the hatred in the United States, including at school board meetings, and the vitriol related to the Holocaust.
