Marjorie Taylor Greene Condemned For 'Grotesque' Face Masks-Holocaust Comparison
HuffPost
The conspiracy-endorsing Republican's comments were slammed as “full-blown bats**t anti-Semitism" and “an insult to the memory of six million dead."
Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene faced widespread condemnation this week for likening House mask mandates to the Holocaust. Greene, talking on Christian Broadcasting Network host David Brody’s podcast “The Water Cooler,” railed against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) request that Republican lawmakers prove they’ve received the COVID-19 vaccine in order to drop the mask-wearing rule in the chamber. “You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany,” said Greene, who has been formally cautioned for not wearing a mask on the House floor. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about,” she added.More Related News
