Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) is leading a push to censure controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over a tweet likening President Joe Biden to Adolf Hitler.
Schneider previously weighed introducing a resolution to condemn her over controversial remarks that were perceived as antisemitic by many within Congress last year but ultimately refrained after the Georgia Republican apologized for her comments.
But a video Greene posted to social media that altered Biden's appearance to show him with a mustache and swastikas behind him sparked the Illinois Democrat to move forward with introducing the measure on Thursday, the Washington Post reported.
“I called out Rep. Greene in 2021 when she debased the memory of all those murdered in the Holocaust, and the heroic men and women who fought and died defending democracy against Hitler and his evil.
Shortly afterwards, she apologized and said she understood the harm of false comparisons to the singular evil of the Nazis,” Schneider said in a statement last month when declaring he planned to redraft the resolution.
“Clearly, she has not learned, or worse perhaps she doesn’t care. She continues to dismiss the horrors of the Holocaust and use vile comparisons to incite her fans and divide our nation. Her hateful rhetoric has no place in our politics and certainly not in the chambers of Congress.
She owes the American people, the survivors and families of those persecuted by the Nazis, and every family of what is still the 'Greatest Generation' an immediate apology.”
Schnieder added that he believes her previous apology following her visit to the Holocaust Museum after she came under fire for likening COVID-19 restrictions to the Holocaust was “insincere” and called on his colleagues on both sides to rebuke her rhetoric.

Wow, volume 11 projection. Besides, though the imagery and tone for his speech was third reich like, he resembles cornholio more than hitler
Pee Wee Herman is closer.
Ha! They do that all the time and have been doing it for years.
Well, to be fair, it is a poor comparison, I mean, Hitler was an evil bastard, but he wasn’t stupid and incontinent.
Free speech for LIBTARDS ONLY...and then they LIE!
GIVE IT UP, MAROONS!
LOL. Only lefties get to call their political opponents Hitler.
That was an intentionally planned and staged photo op/speech DESIGNED to look Nazi-ish hoping someone would comment about it and give the Nazis an opportunity to silence them.
just like they did to fellow Democrats/(communists) when they compared to then President DJ Trump to Hitler and any other derogatory individual.
Oh yeah, they didn’t
I'm old enough to remember when Trump was Hitler. And Romney. And McCain. And Bush 43. And Dole. And Bush 41. And Reagan. And Ford. And Nixon. And Goldwater. And Nixon.
Herr Schneider is just deflecting as he is worried MTG will mean tweet him with some truth.
But PedoHitler? There’s nothing wrong with calling a shovel a shovel.
It is okay when the DemocRATs compare Trump to Hitler. /s
If that’s the standard then a lot of Dems should be censured for comparing Trump to Hitler.
As with declaring election results invalid, Democrats don’t like it when you mimic their propaganda.
Why Joe Biden is just like Hitler:
Both are mentally ill and neither were rightfully elected to office.
Joe Biden called 81 million Amercans, including MTG, fascists.
Just wait until early Jan ‘23....
Also true.
