FDR's granddaughter -- 'Reprehensible' for Trump to invoke WWII

From The Hill via H/T at Instapundit:
Granddaughter of man who put 120,000 Japanese Americans behind barbed wire calls Trump’s proposal to suspend Muslim immigration “reprehensible.”
The granddaughter of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt condemned GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump for invoking the internment of Japanese Americans to justify his proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States.

“For Donald Trump to cite my grandfather and internment as a defense of his own intolerant and divisive agenda is reprehensible,” Anna Eleanor Roosevelt said in a statement.

“The internment of thousands of Japanese Americans during World War II is a sad part of our history and, as a part of my grandfather’s administration, a terrible political decision driven by fear.”
Irony.
