Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) is becoming a reliably staunch supporter of his colleagues whenever they make controversial remarks about the Holocaust.
Nadler, who is Jewish, defended comments by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) likening holding centers at the southern border to “concentration camps.”
“The fact that concentrations camps are now an institutionalized practice in the Home of the Free is extraordinarily disturbing and we need to do something about it,” the freshman Democrat said in an ill-advised rant.
Nadler jumped in by retweeting a message by Ocasio-Cortez that doubled or tripled down (who’s counting) on her reprehensible lie, adding that failure to call out the Trump administration’s “inhumanity” is akin to failing to learn the lessons of “never again.”
The phrase “Never Again” is linked directly to the Holocaust, used by Jews all over the world to ensure that the atrocities committed in Nazi Germany are never repeated.
One of the lessons from the Holocaust is ‘Never Again’ – not only to mass murder, but also to the dehumanization of people, violations of basic rights, and assaults on our common morality. We fail to learn that lesson when we don’t callout such inhumanity right in front of us. https://t.co/EEBBkVL7FG

Comparing an event in which 6 million Jews were murdered to illegal immigrants being held in detention centers – after they came here of their own volition – simply because their quarters might be a little cramped or the climate control might be set too high, is an abomination.
Nadler’s History of Defending Anti-Semites
Last month, Nadler also rushed to the defense of Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) who had expressed her own outrageous Holocaust remarks.

Tlaib suggested in an interview that she gets a “calming feeling” when thinking about the Holocaust because Palestinians created a “safe haven” for some Jewish people.
The statement was both insensitive and historically inaccurate.
Nadler insisted her comments were simply taken out of context in an attempt to smear Tlaib.
“Rep. Tlaib has been purposefully slandered by the President and other Republicans with her comments deliberately taken out of context and mischaracterized,” one of the more powerful and prominent Jewish lawmakers railed. “It is clear from the full quote that she was not making any antisemitic reference.”
Of course, it wasn’t clear at all.
Nadler, a representative whose district encompasses the lower west side of Manhattan, also famously said he has no issue with Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-MN) description of 9/11 being carried out by “some people [who] did something.”
Those ‘people’ were radical Islamic terrorists.
.@jaketapper: Did you take any issue with the way congresswoman @IlhanMN characterized 911?@JerryNadler: No.
This is your daily reminder that Nadler is the representative of the 9/11 district.

Nadler Needs an Intervention
Jewish leaders might want to consider stepping in to educate Nadler on his history. Some have already spoken up against the lawmaker for his past support of the Barack Obama Iran nuclear deal.
David Greenfield, a New York City Councilman, said at the time that he was “sorely disappointed” by Nadler’s decision to support the deal.
“I am saddened and I am outraged at Congressman Jerry Nadler’s decision,” he said. “I want you to know that none of us here will ever forget what you did. We will not forget.”
Perhaps they need to step in again.
Nadler, by supporting a country seeking to wipe Israel off the map and now, trivializing the Holocaust, seems to have forgotten.
Fortunately, he is a co-sponsor of the ‘Never Again Education Act,’ legislation that would “award grants to eligible entities to carry out educational programs about the Holocaust.”
Maybe he can participate in one of those educational programs.

Nadler is just another self-hating Jew, but don’t get me wrong. He has plenty of reason to hate himself, the least of which is his Jewish heritage. The primary reason is his hatred of America. He should never again be elected to ANY political office in this country.
The Democrats are backing themselves into a very tight corner with their lack of sensitivity and respect towards those who are Jewish.
I wonder how many Jewish votes will be lost to the Democrat party with the current rhetoric and antisemitic tone that these Democrats have taken.
THIS GUY IS JUST “NOT UP TO IT”….JEWISH OR NOT??????
Nadler probably hasn’t stepped in Temple since he was a child. Too bad all of those ghosts from the holocaust can’t enter his dreams at night. The brain dead bartender, well she is just plain stupid, and you can’t expect intelligent words to come out of her mouth.
Herem is a Jewish equivalent to Catholic excommunication. That’s what Nadler deserves. It’s either that or some Mohel should reverse his bris.
Nadler & A.O.C. both need a great intervention, they serve only themselves and money, they will tell you what they think you want to hear as long as it makes them a dollar. They have even turned on the Democrats and are now socialists, so Democrats are walking away from a party they no longer know.
Nadler is your typical secular Jew-it means he has no religious beliefs just like the buffet Christians like Pelosi or Kennedy. They worship the state and themselves, for they see themselves as the state.
That dumpy fat little POS is nothing but a democRAT and could care less about his jewish heritage…..PERIOD…
Obama’s detention center was 100 X worse than Trumps.
I guess his jewishness plays second fiddle to the party
This is truly unbelievable no matter if he was Jewish or not. Time for him to be voted out.
Mr. Nadler amazes me. The ignorance shown by Ms. Tlib and Ms. Omar and Ms. Ocasio-Cortez are a disappointment, but not really shocking. They are ill-informed, ill-educated, and they do demonstrate some anti-Semitism. But from Mr. Nadler, I expected far more. This is really sad.
