Spoiler: More fake news from Deprogramming101.com with the exception of the first two sentences.
Last Friday, the White House released the following statement commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day.
It is with a heavy heart and somber mind that we remember and honor the victims, survivors, heroes of the Holocaust.
Unreported was the first draft of the statement which read as follows:
It is with a heavy heart and somber mind that we remember and honor the victims, survivors, heroes of the Holocaust, not to mention the Jews, whom we have decided NOT to mention in deference to our alt-right supporters.
In this vain, we can look forward to additional White House statements commemorating other National holidays and celebrations. For example:
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Today is testament to the courage of all orators, good and bad, who have organized marches on the Nation’s capital regardless of substance or attendance, not to mention Dr. King, whom we decided NOT…(but we repeat ourselves).
Presidents Day
Today we acknowledge the contribution of the 43 white dudes who have served as chief executive of the United States and that Kenyan-born Muslim who made it possible for Donald J. Trump to mobilize the alt-right during the 2016 election.
Mothers Day
On this second Sunday in May, we show our appreciation to all those parents, sperm donors, nannies and private/parochial schools who contribute to the miracle of new life and nurture privileged children from birth through adolescence to adulthood.
Veterans Day
Maintaining the peace and securing the homeland is a daunting task. We owe it to those who, like Donald Trump, have personally sacrificed by building businesses on the backs of taxpayers (including actual veterans) and creating jobs to provide our armed forces with the tools they need to wage war. Today we honor Halliburton, United Technologies, Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon and General Dynamics, their officers and stockholders for keeping American safe and strong. In honor of Veterans Day, Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown CEO.
April Fools Day
The White House sadly admits it could not come up with a statement that adequately covers the tricks and verbal gymnastics perpetrated on the American public this year. Anyway, you April fools already know who you are.
In a related development, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were asked for their reactions to these pronouncements. Parroting his response to the Muslim ban and the appointment of White House political adviser Steve Bannon to the National Security Council, Chatty Paul (just pull the string on his back) replied, “It’s regrettable that there was some confusion on the rollout, but I’m fine with it.” Senator Mitchell ducked back into his shell.
For what it’s worth.
Dr. ESP
Hilarious. “We have decided not to mention…” hahahahaha All, various holiday compositions, so funny. Also never realized how much Mitchell’s neck and head resemble a turtle’s! Such an enjoyable image.
