Right-wing talk show host Michael Savage is furious today after Biden told him to resign or be fired

Right-wing talk show host Michael Savage is furious today after Biden told him to resign or be fired from the Presidio Trust. Trump appointed him last May, and since then he has been trying to get the exhibit about WWII Japanese-American Internment Camps removed from the park museum.

Savage compared his removal from the board to Mao’s purges in China where an estimated 65 million people were killed. Star Trek actor @GeorgeTakei was in these camps as a child. This is an article about his controversial appointment by Trump.

Trump put a right-wing radio host in charge of a national park. Emails show the chaos that ensued.

Notice how his most recent plan is to put all first class mail on trucks. None on planes. And where did DeJoy come from? The Trucking Industry.

No, I forgot -- that's requiring masks for protection from the coronavirus.

Kicking a rightwing asshole off a board he has no business being part of -- that's Mao's purges. Got it.

if all the people who have strong memories of it have been dead at least a couple of generations.

Otherwise, it just ruins the reputation and costs seats on boards.

that this isn't anything like Mao's purges in China but, if he'd like, making his experience more like those purges in China can be arranged for him!
