Sheldon Adelson gets a mea culpa for Spicer’s Holocaust remarks. The Anne Frank Center does not.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has spent the past 24 hours on an apology tour after he downplayed the magnitude of the Holocaust during a Tuesday press briefing. His stops on the tour include a special, one-on-one apology to casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who is Jewish.
Oddly enough, Adelson — who has given a fortune to supporting both the Republican Party and the Israeli right — seems to be the only person who warranted a personal mea culpa from Spicer. There’s no indication that Jewish members of Congress or Jewish organizations in the United States have received similar apologies; the White House has not replied to a request to comment.
A spokesperson for Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), one of the dozens of lawmakers who condemned Spicer’s remarks on Tuesday, told ThinkProgress that Nadler had not heard anything from the White House — nor, as far as he knew, had any other Jewish members of Congress. An aide to a Democratic senator said much the same thing.
