A highlight, if you could call it that (and I don’t think you could), of being a non-observant Jew on Passover is that I’ve been online to witness, in real Twitter time, President Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer’s cascade of unfortunate, seemingly ill-informed Holocaust references.
Did Hitler use chemical weapons? Yes. Against his own people? Also yes.
Is this even still a discussion, in 2017? Evidently yes. I’d ask a fourth question but I’m too stunned at the moment to continue this line of thought.
