Juli Briskman Compares Deportation of Violent Criminals to the Holocaust as Loudoun Supervisor

In an outrageous, offensive and tone-deaf post, Juli Briskman, Loudoun County Supervisor has equated the removal of violent, crime committing illegal aliens to the atrocities perpetrated on law abiding Jewish citizens during Kristallnacht (1938) in Nazi Germany and the deportation of Jews from Nazi occupied countries to death camps.

Let’s be clear, in 1938, citizens of Germany were rounded up, beaten, murdered, raped, synagogues and businesses burned to the ground simply for being Jewish.

It appears that the Briskman seeks to conflate the legal deportation of criminals from US soil and the images below captured in Nazi Germany.

The extreme left has policy differences with the Administration about how to handle violent offenders who are here illegally, who murder, rape, sex traffic and abuse citizens. However, for them to use the murder of 6 million Jews and an equal number of non-Jews (gypsies, Poles, Christians, Gays, mentally and physically challenged individuals, Nazi resistors), shows their moral depravity and total lack of sensitivity and lack of awareness between good and evil.

While her comments were not on the official Loudoun County Board of Supervisor site, and were made as an individual, she must recognize she is a public figure and utilizing such comparisons and imagery is unacceptable.
