Greene invokes the Holocaust over Pelosi keeping congressional mask mandate

Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene invoked the Holocaust during a discussion Thursday about the mask mandate on Capitol Hill.

Greene, 46, made the comparison when she was asked about Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to lift the mandate. Pelosi and some House Republicans have fought about the mandate since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on May 13 that those who are fully vaccinated could shed their masks, indoors and outdoors.

“This woman is mentally ill,” Greene said of Pelosi on Real America’s Voice.

“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,” she added. “So much so, 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.”

More right wing projection by MTG. Anyone who compares the inconvenient wearing of masks with genocide is at the very least childish if not mentally ill.

Yes, Empty, you are a victim -but the cause is not what you think. You are a victim of low intelligence, excessive emotions, and a native dishonesty in which to wrap it all. You will always be a victim...and you will always blame others.

Stop demonizing mental illness. She's an asshole who gets up every day and thinks, how can I make the world a worse place. What she is is trash.

And when I stub my toe on the coffee table I know EXACTLY how a child feels that steps on an illegal landmine planted in the Balkan wars and has their legs blown off.

Fucking idiot.
