When Kamala Harris picked Gov. Tim Walz as her VP pick, the media hyped his supposed Holocaust education background. We never actually did see a copy of Walz’s supposed thesis, but its thrust appeared to be an effort to decontextualize and universalize the Holocaust by removing its Jewish context and focusing on global human rights abuses.

Now Walz demonstrated what that looks like at the University of Minnesota’s law school commencement, declaring that ICE is the “modern day gestapo”.

Comparing ICE to the Nazis is despicable behavior. It’s unpatriotic and unamerican, and it’s also a despicable trivialization of the Holocaust to compare deporting illegal aliens to the mass murder of millions of Jews. After this, there should be no further mentions of Walz’s Holocaust education work.
