The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, an organization which theoretically fights against the kind of prejudice that led to the Holocaust, has been using its Twitter account to attack President Trump and Ivanka Trump over Trump’s proposed transgender troop ban.
The Anne Frank Center began their tweeting spree by issuing an official statement by calling the transgender troop ban a “NEW LOVE OF HATRED” and “EVIL”:
OUR STATEMENT BELOW DENOUNCING @POTUS for his evil reinstatement of the ban on #transgender Americans in the military. We are sickened. pic.twitter.com/OaBWRyn58n

They continued the rant by calling Trump “evil,” even trying to draw a connection between the day former President Truman desegregated the military and Trump’s transgender tweet:
SIMPLY EVIL: Today, when @POTUS bans transgender people from service, is anniversary of day in 1948 Pres Truman desegregated the military.

If you follow other human rights organizations in addition to us, please tweet all of them to speak out against @POTUS evil transgender ban.

The Anne Frank Center then questioned Trump’s own courage:
.@POTUS @realDonaldTrump you should only have the courage of the transgender Americans who have served and protected our nation.

The Center even went as far as to say Trump “terrorized U.S. military preparedness” with his ban and “needs extreme vetting”:
America's commander-in-chief terrorized U.S. military preparedness today and now needs extreme vetting. Support our #TransgenderTroops.

The Anne Frank Center even repeatedly tweeted that an example of a “world leader” is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, not Trump:

Even Trump’s daughter was not spared from the Anne Frank Center’s scorn. In a now-deleted tweet, the Anne Frank Center tweeted a still image from a “Saturday Night Live” skit about Ivanka Trump (archive here), calling her “complicit”:
Another tweet claimed Ivanka, who has said she supports the gay community before, can “no longer do more good from the inside”:
.@IvankaTrump, there comes a day where you can no longer do more good from the inside. Dad's ban on #TransgenderTroops makes today that day. pic.twitter.com/pRsZeRsLe9

The Center even scolded fellow human rights organizations for not vocally opposing the transgender ban.
As of Monday morning (approximately 9 a.m. ET) the Anne Frank Center has issued approximately 20 tweets regarding the transgender troop ban.
The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect claims to be a U.S. organization dedicated to addressing “civil and human rights across America.”
