Here is what long-time Harvard Professor, and lifelong Democrat, Alan Dershowitz has to say about the Democrat attack machine going after Sean Spicer for his indisputably ridiculous comment about Hitler not using chemical weapons – which he immediately tried to clarify and apologized for shortly thereafter:
“The politicization of the Holocaust dishonors the memory of the six million. Sean Spicer made a serious mistake when he compared Bashar Assad to Hitler, and to make matters worse, he got his facts wrong. He quickly and fully apologized. There was no hint of anti-Semitism in his historical mistake and his apology should have ended the matter. But his political enemies decided to exploit his mistake by pandering to Jews. In doing so, it is they who are exploiting the memory of the six million during the Passover Holiday.”
Alan Dershowitz nails it. He recognizes both the extent of Spicer’s gaffe – and the exploitation attempt by “his political enemies” (though he couldn’t bring himself to mention he was talking about Democrats). He is 100% right.
Thank you for your honesty, Professor.
