The White House publicly condemned comments made by Fox News host Greg Gutfeld on Monday, calling them an “extreme lie.”
, because Gutfeld and his writers are not WGA members—Gutfeld engaged in a debate with his liberal-leaning co-host, which require instructors to teach children that "slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.”
“I’m not Black, but I’m Jewish,” said Tarlov. “Would someone say about the Holocaust, for instance, that there were some benefits for Jews? That while they were hanging out in concentration camps, they learned a strong work ethic? That maybe you learned a new skill?”by Viktor Frankl, an Austrian psychiatrist and Holocaust concentration camp survivor.
“Vik Frankl talks about how you had to survive in a concentration camp by having skills. You had to be useful. Utility, utility kept you alive,” Gutfeld argued.for distorting Frankl's message and downplaying the atrocity of the Holocaust. “Being skilled or useful did not spare [Jewish people] from the horrors of the gas chambers,” read a statement from the Auschwitz Memorial.By Tuesday, the White House had issued its own criticism of Gutfeld's remarks.
Bates continued: “Let’s get something straight that the American people understand full well and that is not complicated: there was nothing good about slavery. There was nothing good about the Holocaust. Full stop. Americans deserve to be brought together, not torn apart with poison. And they deserve the truth and the freedom to learn, not book bans and lies.”
