11:01Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian—both descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors—expose how the Trump administration tried to erase history with a tweet. JD Vance became the first sitting vice president to visit Armenia and lay a wreath at the genocide memorial, posting that he was there "to honor the victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide"—only to delete it moments later under apparent pressure from Turkey, replacing it with a sanitized reference to "the lives lost" and "the resilience of the Armenian people." The hosts explain that this follows the White House's April 24th statement, where Trump refused to use the word "genocide" despite Biden having formally recognized it, instead using the Armenian phrase "Meds Yeghern." They connect this to a broader pattern of betrayal toward Armenian Americans, including Dr. Oz's baseless targeting of Armenian-owned businesses in Van Nuys as fronts for healthcare fraud based solely on Armenian-language signage. The attorneys argue that genocide recognition is not symbolic—it's a legal term coined by Raphael Lemkin specifically in reference to the Armenian Genocide—and that Trump's refusal to use it, while claiming to reject political correctness, reveals he'll offend anyone except the dictators he admires.
