Vice President Harris observes Holocaust Remembrance Day at inauguration of Honduran antisemite

Vice President Kamala Harris last week committed herself to "combat(ing) antisemitism and hate wherever it exists." 

Yet on the same day she made that commitment on Twitter, she was in Honduras attending the inauguration of the nation's newly elected socialist president Xiomara Castro and her vice president, Salvador Nasralla, who publicly holds antisemitic views.

Nasralla accused the nation's former president, Juan Orlando Hernandez of being controlled by the Israeli government and has said that Jews control the global money supply.

In 2017, Nasralla's wife said that Adolf Hitler "was a great leader," a comment for which she later apologized. 

Harris has been in contact with Castro for several months in an effort to "deepen the partnership between the United State and Honduras," according to a spokesperson for the vice president.

The New York Times called Harris's trip "more than a show of support, but also a sign of the Biden administration's eagerness to pursue a fresh start" with the government of the poor country. 

"On the same day she tweeted about never forgetting the atrocities of the Holocaust, she was posing for pictures with a man who has a history of espousing anti-Semitic tropes, which were the foundation of Nazi Germany's anti-Semitic misinformation campaign," an unnamed Republican congressional official told The Washington Free Beacon.
