Leftists love to jump to Hitler comparisons, but that’s not going to fly with the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
The museum took exception to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz comparing the children of his state to Anne Frank, claiming that they are “afraid to go outside” due to the federal illegal immigration crackdown. His statement was shockingly insensitive, but on par with the increasingly inflammatory nature of leftist rhetoric of late.
“Allow our children to go back to school. We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside,” the governor whined. “Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody’s going to write that children’s story about Minnesota.”
There are a great number of flaws in this logic, of course, but the most important of them all was pointed out by the museum on X.
Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges. pic.twitter.com/VVg0Uy7kjR

“Anne Frank was targeted and murdered solely because she was Jewish. Leaders making false equivalencies to her experience for political purposes is never acceptable. Despite tensions in Minneapolis, exploiting the Holocaust is deeply offensive, especially as antisemitism surges,” the account wrote, bringing common sense back into the conversation.

Then flatten the holocaust museum and remove it from our curriculum because if it isn’t teaching us to prevent similar atrocities in the future then the information is irrelevant and useless.
You have reduced the holocaust to trauma porn and nothing more. https://t.co/aEXXfD0l78

Tim Walz seems like a unique leader in that during a crisis he does something so insane that he gets yelled at by the Holocaust Museum https://t.co/81A0gcsKa8

And these fascist fucks are rounding up and deporting people for being non-white. The parallels are striking, and denying that plain fact is disgusting. You’re supposed to be educating people to stop another holocaust from happening, not bootlicking a fascist authoritarian regime https://t.co/QaZTtxCGDl

You can talk about the state wrongfully executing Americans exercising their 1A rights without invoking the Holocaust.
Our dead relatives are not your political prop. Please find another metaphor. https://t.co/VDnwrHz3Ic
