Gawker writer: cold weather is ‘worse than the Holocaust’

Travis Okulski, senior writer for Gawker Media’s car blog Jalopnik, had been tweeting complaints about the cold weather Thursday when he compared the brutal slaughter of 6 million people to the bitter cold weather.

Deborah Lauter, Civil Rights Director, Anti-Defamation League told Fox News:
