Survivors Read Mean Tweets From Depraved Holocaust Deniers
Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/ClaimsConferenceIt can’t have been easy for Holocaust survivor Herbert Rubinstein to read aloud the words that a Holocaust denier posted online. “We have all been cheated, lied to, and exploited,” the post says. “The Holocaust did NOT happen the way it is written in our history books.” In no uncertain terms, Rubinstein sets the record straight. “That is a lie,” he says.Ahead of Holocaust Remembrance Day on May 6, several survivors are taking part in a powerful campaign seeking to address the ongoing spread of Holocaust denialism online by reading posts dismissing the real atrocities that they lived through. The #CancelHate campaign, organized by the Claims Conference, features a series of videos of survivors speaking the words of Holocaust denial and distortion that still proliferate on social media platforms—and debunking those smears with the testimony of their own lived experiences.One of the survivors taking part is Hedi Argent. Born into a Jewish family in Vienna in 1929, she was expelled from school the day after the Anschluss, Adolf Hitler’s annexation of Austria into a union with Nazi Germany. Soon she and her family would also be forced out of their home. Eventually, 17 of her family members would be murdered in the Holocaust.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Kristi Noem Echoes Trump Line in Reply to Dog-Killer Drama
Fox NewsTwo of the first words out of Kristi Noem’s mouth when asked Wednesday on Fox News to justify her strange decision to kill her puppy and her goat by shooting them in a gravel pit were “fake news.”In the fashion of a typical Trump ally, Noem blamed the media for simply reporting on what she reportedly wrote in her forthcoming book.“Well, Sean, you know how the fake news works. They leave out some or most of the facts of a story, they put the worst spin on it, and that’s what’s happened in this case,” said Noem, who had been considered a potential Trump running mate until her admission.Read more at The Daily Beast.

CNN Host Kaitlan Collins Calls Out J.D. Vance’s Gaza Protest Hypocrisy
CNNCNN anchor Kaitlan Collins caught Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) flat-footed Wednesday night with a misdirection in her line of questioning on the current pro-Palestine protests roiling college campuses across the country.In a segment to kick off The Source, Collins quizzed the pro-Trump senator on his views regarding the relative value of free speech versus the safety and well-being of students whose lives have been disrupted by the protests on campus—to which Vance replied that police should only become involved if protesters are breaking the law.“My view on this is that Israel’s our ally, that we should support them, but you can’t police people for being anti-Israel or pro-Israel,” he said. “You can police people for violating the law, and we have seen some of that with some of these protests.”Read more at The Daily Beast.
