Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, tried to explain the Hanukkah story on Monday — and failed spectacularly.
Emhoff, the first Jewish person in his position, who is helping to lead the White House antisemitism “strategy,” posted a now-deleted explanation that combined elements of several different stories, none of which connected to the other — or made any sense.
He wrote:
The story of Hanukkah and the story of the Jewish people has always been one of hope and resilience. In the Hanukkah story, the Jewish people were forced into hiding [sic]. No one though they would survive of that the few drops of oil they had [sic] would last.
But they survived and the oil kept burning.
During those eight days in hiding [sic], they recited their prayers and continued their traditions. That’s why Hanukkah means dedication. It was during those dark nights that the Maccabees dedicated themselves to maintaining hope and faith in the oil [sic], each other, and their Judaism.
In these dark times, I think of that story.
The post was deleted, after much mockery.

They weren’t HIDING, they were FIGHTING BACK!
And WINNING.
Emhoff is about as Jewish as the current Pope is Catholic. His religion, like the Pope’s, is power and leftist ideology.
Apparently he’s the dude that is Camel’s “yes man”.
Probably the worst job in the world behind being a suicide bomber.

Trailing spouse with Kamala’s career taking center stage. Not as bright and articulate as his wife.
Which means stoooooopid.

The Hanukah story took place over 20 years or so. How some Hellenist Jew with a shikse concubine thinks he should celebrate the victory of the religious Maccabees is proof that God has a sense of humor.
He writes like she talks.
I take issue with calling this any-port-in-a-storm opportunist a "gentleman". He's a bum and a traitor to his people.
Well, the neopagans have their own interpretations of all religions and none of them are based on truth.
Doug is better known among his buddies as Jack.
vying for the wife’s title of Word Salad Queen???
Exactly. When people wonder why Jews like to vote for democrats it’s because so many are Jews by name only and liberals at heart.
They’re made for each other.
I think Quemala wrote it for him.
No mention of God in his post.
Guess Camel Hairs married up on the intelligence ladder.
Does this mean “Hannukah Harry Saves Christmas” never happened? :-(
Sounds like something a bit worse than a second banana.
And after the family put away their manorah and dreidels they dusted off their kwanza decorations to sit around the fire place telling kwanza stories with the Tamil side of the family....
