Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., is drafting legislation to censure Greene. “It is shameful that the Republican Conference continues to let her define their party, and dangerous that they refuse to expel her.”
WASHINGTON — Never, ever compare anything to the Nazi Holocaust, a singular horrific event in human history. I’ve written that before and need to do it again because of the latest from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. The outrageous Georgia Republican is comparing pandemic mandates for masks and vaccinations in some places to the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people. It’s time for the House Republican leaders — who dumped Rep. Liz Cheney from leadership because she would not embrace ex-President Trump’s lies — to do something about Greene. Last week, Greene, in an interview on the podcast “The Water Cooler with David Brody,” slammed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after the California Democrat decided to continue masking mandates on the House floor because she was not convinced all members were vaccinated. “This woman is mentally ill,” Greene said, referring to Pelosi. “You know, we can look back in 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, and this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.” On Saturday, Greene, in Arizona, was asked if she stood by her comment by Bianca Buono, a reporter for Arizona’s 12 News. “I stand by all of my statements. I’ve said nothing wrong. And I think any rational Jewish person didn’t like what happened in Nazi Germany and any rational Jewish person doesn’t like what’s happening with overbearing mask mandates and overbearing vaccine policy,” Greene said.
