“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.’ Greene’s office did not respond to CNN’s inquiry about her comments” – CNN.
