The top two House Republican leaders on Tuesday condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for repeatedly equating COVID-19 vaccination and mask-wearing rules to the Holocaust, which resulted in the deaths of 6 million Jews.
“Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in a statement.
“At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democrat Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” he continued. “Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust.
“Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.”
Lauren Fine, a spokeswoman for House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), said he “does not agree with these comments and condemns these comparisons to the Holocaust. We also need to be speaking out strongly against the dangerous anti-Semitism that is growing in our streets and in the Democrat party, resulting in an alarming number of horrific violent attacks against Jews.”
Facing a barrage of criticism from both parties, Greene doubled down Tuesday on her Holocaust remarks.
“Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star,” Greene tweeted.
“Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable.”
She defended her comments in a follow-up tweet, saying she was only comparing vaccination rules to the early actions of the Nazis.

Get rid of the RINO McCarthy, he is worse than Boner and Paul RYNO
With “leaders” like this.....the GOP is well on it’s way to becoming the next Whig Party.
Great plan!
The [Stupid Party] GOPee “leaders” need to get off their back foot and get on message to dump on CRT and ‘Rat mismanagement of the Country by Jao, Nazi and Schmuckie.
McCarthy needs to go. Anyone who voted for McCarthy to be the GOP House Leader needs to go. They knew better, but they still chose poor. Gutless, pussy RINOs.
Offend the easily offended humans ... it’s fun.
McCarthy looks like a lost puppy when I see him on interviews. IDIOT. Is he still bunking with that fat slob from Fox News that wears a bad toupee, Frank Luntz?
She used the word “Holocaust”? I must have missed that.
The DEMONCRATS called POTUS Trump Hitler for four Years. Does that mean they compared his actions to the Holocaust?
If so, were they denounced by their own Leadership?
Even the Holocaust started small. It’s a matter of creating a hated class that can be easily identified. Afterwards, the dehumanizing comes in followed by restrictions of movement. Oh, wait! It’s already happening.
McCarthy is a typical establishment squish, and he is frank luntz’s live in gay lover. Just saying. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Greene fights and does not back down. We need more like her. The spineless GOP is dead and can rot in hell.
exactly!!!!
Greens getting a bit too close to reclaiming history, isn’t she?
Wasn’t that Mao’s Little Red Book? I mean red is the color of communism, and by calling it a little black book might get you cancelled for racism and a trip to the coming American democrat gulag.
“comparison to the tens of millions of murders conducted by the Communists in the Soviet Union and China.”
Ten 4.
Hey, ever wonder why the hell they (UK and France, et al) didnt declared war on the Soviet Union when they invaded Poland during 1939?
I have.
Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.
