Marjorie Taylor Greene compares House mask mandates to the Holocaust
Quote:
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.

Her remarks seem to be unnecessarily emotive.
I invoke the WP "Godwin's Law" protocol.

No Godwin’s Law in this thread it started with a Nazi comparison.

Well, here's a brief summary of her record:
Says forest fires are caused by Jewish space lasers.
Believes Trump is still President.
Keeps losing money being fined for not wearing a face mask in congress.
Harrasses other congressional members for supporting abortion rights and BLM.
Harassed a fellow congress member for supporting her trans daughter.
QAnon supporter.
Claims to be a devout Christian while having had countless adulterous affairs.
That's just the tip of the iceberg.

Apart from the first one, she seems to be a typical American politician.
The first one is real, btw.
But seriously, are you sure you understand the context of her comments, assuming you portrayed them correctly?
Could she be doing a Trump joke thing?
I'll do a quick check.

Oh, my lordy!
You Amerians do have some wacky doozies!

In her post, Taylor Greene suggested that the 2018 California wildfires may not have been due to climate change leaving vegetation drier and more combustible. No, instead she advanced the theory that, drum roll please, some kind of “space laser” had lit things on fire. Yes, you heard that correctly: a space laser. As they said in the movie Wayne’s World, exsqueeze me, baking powder?

Not at all. She believes this wholeheartedly.

:Interesting that Godwin's law is used against progressives when they attack right wing politicians or high profile media people. But when those politicians use inflammatory racist language they are "typical politicians"?
Off topic: domestically Tony Abbott, Pauline Hanson, Fraser Anning, Eric Abetz, Matthias Korman, Peter Dutton, Kevin Andrews, Bon Katter, Matt Canavan and others in the media like Rowan Dean and Andrew Bolt have got away with fanning the flames of intolerance on more than one occasion but seem to get a free pass.
