In today’s episode of All Genocides Matter…Even The Non-Existent Ones, a Republican senator from Minnesota who is attempting to block a state bill that would require educators to give lessons on the Holocaust and the genocide of indigenous people justified his position by applying a Trump-like “very fine people on both sides” narrative to the historical wiping out of native people by European settlers.

No doubt, I’d also learn about the Caucasian plantation Harriet Tubman ran because slavery also goes…
