It took almost two months, but the House Judiciary GOP — aka Jim Jordan, no doubt, as its Ranking Member — finally took down this annoying but incomprehensible tweet. It was done without explanation, either about why it was posted in the first place, or why it's now gone.
A couple of reasons could be lurking in today's headlines. Kanye West had nice things to say about Adolf Hitler to Alex Jones, and Benedict Donald, West's host at dinner last week, just suffered another big legal loss. The 11th Circuit put the kibosh on Trump's Special Master, which means the decks are cleared for DOJ in the stolen documents case.
And of course Elon Musk continues to embarrass himself as CEO of Twitter. But which of these three idiots was the straw that broke the Judiciary GOP's back?
It's hard to know how the Republican crazies think. But since Holocaust denial seems so hot in their circles, they should remember that it was a future Republican President, Dwight D. Eisenhower, who, as Supreme Allied Commander, instructed film and still photographs to be taken of the newly liberated Nazi death camps. Buchenwald alone, he said, was "beyond the American mind to comprehend." The documentation, he believed, would make sure that the world would never forget.
We don't often say this about the man who picked Richard Nixon as his Vice President, but Eisenhower was right. Perhaps Trump, Kanye, and all those MAGA nutcases could zip down to the Holocaust Memorial Museum for a field trip. We cats HISS.
