What kind of clueless moron would seek foreign policy advice from an anti-semitic Holocaust denier like Joseph Schmitz? Donald Trump, of course.

McClatchy reports that Joseph Schmitz’s bigotry has gotten him into some pretty serious hot water. For starters, he’s accused of bragging about getting Jewish coworkers fired back when he was the inspector general for George W. Bush’s Defense Dept....

Oh, but wait. The plot sickens. In the same complaint, Daniel Meyer declared that John Crane, another top Pentagon official at the time, insists Joseph Schmitz is a Holocaust denier.
‘In his final days, he allegedly lectured Mr. Crane on the details of concentration camps and how the ovens were too small to kill 6 million Jews.’

That’s right. Joseph Schmitz (allegedly!) claimed that there’s no way the Holocaust happened because those ovens at Auschwitz were too small to “kill six million Jews.” First of all, Nazi Germany didn’t actually bake their Jewish prisoners in the ovens. They used the ovens to cremate them. Second of all, anyone who has actually visited the sites of Auschwitz and other concentration camps can see that those ovens were definitely big enough.
