Marjorie Taylor Greene compares House mask mandates to the Holocaust
By Ryan Nobles, CNN

(CNN) Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, during an interview on a conservative podcast this week, compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to continue to require members of the House to wear masks on the chamber floor to steps the Nazis took to control the Jewish population during the Holocaust.

Greene, in a conversation with the Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody Real America's Voice TV show "The Water Cooler," attacked Pelosi and accused her of being a hypocrite for asking GOP members to prove they have all been vaccinated before allowing members to be in the House chamber without a mask.

"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," Greene said. "And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."

Jewish groups were quick to condemn Greene's remarks.

"You can never compare health-related restrictions with yellow stars gas chambers and other Nazi atrocities. Such comparisons demean the Holocaust and contaminate American political speech," the American Jewish Congress said in a tweet in response to Greene's comments. "Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene must immediately retract and apologize."

I'm 51 years old, and I hear myself and others in the past couple of years say I can't believe what I'm seeing, never thought I'd be saying that all the time

In Germany there is a saying: "beware of the beginnings", because here we are very much aware of history.

How did she EVER make it to Congress? I don’t either know where to begin-what has our Congress become if these remarks are NOT

Saying "the Nazis treated Jews like 2nd class citizens, " is like saying, "Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy were unkind to their victims."

Twain's old adage, “The nation is divided, half patriots and half traitors, and no man can tell which from which.” Is no longer true. We can tell the difference now. It's very clear.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities " Voltaire describes MTG perfectly.

MTG needs to wear a mask, regardless, so she stops scaring children.

When one lives in a bottomless cesspool, it is impossible for that person to ever hit rock bottom. She has no shame.

The silence of any public representative on this tells you who they are.

McCarthy should be ashamed for not censoring or educateing MTG! HE needs to be removed from leadership. We know he knows better.

Also "I'm sorry you feel..." is code for "I don't regret nor consider what I said to be wrong and I'm not really apologizing, I'm just pretending I am while insulting your intelligence."

Marjorie ran against no one, because some of her supporters threatened her opponent with death and he left the State.
Just a Reminder.

2nd class citizens? They were slaughtered. Any rational Jewish citizen, any rational human would find this deeply offensive. She had that comment planned. She gave it thought and still said it. WTF MTG?
