A Republican legislator in Maine who lost his wife to COVID-19 last week appeared at a rally on Tuesday that featured a GOP colleague who compared the state’s Democratic governor to a Nazi doctor who performed deadly experiments on Jews during the Holocaust.

State Rep. Chris Johansen, who emerged in the early days of the pandemic as a fierce opponent of public health-related restrictions, joined a group of lawmakers at the event in Augusta. State Rep. Heidi Sampson delivered a speech to the crowd that baselessly accused Gov. Janet Mills, who has introduced a vaccine mandate for health-care workers, of operating a government campaign to test “experimental” vaccines on unknowing citizens.

She described Mills as the “reincarnated” Nazi doctor Josef Mengele, who performed deadly experiments on Jewish people in Auschwitz death camps during the Holocaust.

“Do I need to remind you of the late 1930s and into the 40s in Germany. And the experiments with Josef Mengele,” Sampson said according to a video from the event posted online. “What was it? A shot. And these were crimes against humanity. And what came out of that? The Nuremberg Code. The Nuremberg Trial. Informed consent is at the top and violating that is punishable by death.”

5. maybe he didnt care for his wife

7. An intriguing possibility

What if it turns out he's been vaccinated all along?

6. Sick asshole!

It's not experimental, for one.

You're free to avoid getting vaccinated if you agree instead to literally seal yourself in a plastic bubble, or go live alone on an otherwise deserted island. Otherwise, you will abide by the necessity of protecting others from your germs as part of living in a society. You're not the only one with rights, fucko, everyone else has them too, and you being willfully unvaccinated is violating ours.

8. I would suggest he read Jeremiah 5:21

However I don't think he would understand he is not the speaker but the one spoken to.

9. Darwin is often misquoted

The bumper sticker version of his theory is “Survival of the Fittest,” which indicates that the the strong eventually displace the weak.
What he actually felt determined which animals survived within a species came down to which were most adaptable, which he further explained included their ability to work together when necessary.
