January 27, 2024 - Alabama Democrats link Holocaust to Kenneth Smith execution by nitrogen gas
The Alabama Democratic Party was critical Saturday of a tweet from Gov. Kay Ivey recognizing International Holocaust Remembrance Day on the heels of the state using nitrogen gas to execute Kenneth Eugene Smith.
“Today, we remember the millions of lives lost to unfathomable hatred — mindful that antisemitism still tries to resurface in our world. To never again see such evil carry out, we will always continue to preserve the memory of this painful history,” Ivey wrote in the post on X, formerly known as Twitter. About 4 hours after Ivey’s tweet, the official Alabama Democrats’ X account responded with the following:
“A man was gassed to death for 22 minutes Thursday with your permission but yes, tell us more about ‘never again seeing such evil carried out.’”
