US EditionReport: Sanders Missed All Holocaust Museum Board Meetings Over 18 Years
Council members say Sanders has missed all meetings in 18 years and want an engaged representative amid rising antisemitism and Holocaust distortion, a letter states.
- An effort is underway to remove Sen. Bernie Sanders from the US Holocaust Memorial Museum Council, The New York Post reported Monday, after Robert Garson and 11 others wrote last week to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer requesting his replacement.
- Sanders was appointed in 2007 as one of 10 congressional representatives on the Museum Council, while the council's other 55 members are presidential appointees; signatories said Sanders's absence undermines the Council's mission.
- According to attendance records, Sanders has not attended a single Council meeting, and the letter cited his public statements on Israel and Gaza and efforts to block US arms sales as reasons he is ill-suited.
- Signatories argued that Sanders's Senate-appointed seat was effectively wasted, citing two large annual meetings where attendance is expected, highlighting the practical impact of his absence.
- Amid rising Jew-hatred and Holocaust distortion, the letter to Chuck Schumer argued Senate-appointed representatives must fully support the Museum's mission, making Sanders's replacement necessary.
