Democrat says he won't introduce resolution to censure Greene after her apologyRep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.) said Tuesday that he is scrapping plans to introduce a resolution to censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she apologized for comparing mask and vaccine rules during the COVID-19 pandemic to the Holocaust.
Schneider, who is Jewish, said that he was "pleasantly surprised" to see Greene visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington on Monday and make a public apology.
"I appreciate that after her visit she understood the harm of her comparison and offered an apology. In light of her apology, I am electing not to go forward at this time with introducing a resolution of censure," Schneider said in a statement.

Always give the Republican the benefit of the doubt and turn the other cheek.
If it's a Democrat who made a mistake then nail them to the wall and throw everything you've got at them.

If a Democrat spewed this racist, ignorant nonsense, they would have been expelled from congress already.
What a day for the Democratic Caucus: First, no ethics investigation for Capital riot conspirator Gosar, now this.
I'm rapidly losing faith in my support for this party.
