Fox News host Greg Gutfeld is being criticised for saying some Jews were able to survive the Nazi genocide because they were “useful,” with a prominent Holocaust museum saying this claim “does not represent the complex history” of the concentration camps.
“What Fox News allowed to be said on their air yesterday — and has so far failed to condemn — is an obscenity,” White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement to The Hill on Tuesday. “In defending a horrid, dangerous, extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of Americans who suffered from the evil of enslavement, a Fox News host told another horrid, dangerous and extreme lie that insults the memory of the millions of people who suffered from the evils of the Holocaust.”
