According to CNN’s Gloria Borger, it was a “political” moment when Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu brought up the Holocaust in his speech today to Congress:
“At the end of it, when I think he really veered off into political territory, don’t know if it was on a delay at that point, but when he sort of raised the specter of the Holocaust and ‘Never again’ and Elie Wiesel–there was this great — Ari Fleischer could have done this great political speech,” Borger said.
Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer responded, “That’s not political. That’s called survival.”
“That’s not political,” Fleischer said. “Talking about the Holocaust is the history of the Jewish people.”
