Marjorie Taylor Greene Compares COVID Restrictions to the Holocaust

During a recent appearance on the ultra-conservative Real America’s Voice network’s “The Water Cooler with David Brody” program, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “mentally ill” for her recent decision to keep the mask mandate on the House floor, and then compared continued coronavirus restrictions in the U.S. Capitol to what “Jewish people suffered during the Holocaust.”

Wow! So, if I understand her logic correctly, those nearly 600,000 Americans who’ve lost their lives so far - all died because they were forced to wear face masks? And, while I’m sure it all makes perfect sense to the voters in her "Deliverance District” down in Georgia, I rather doubt anyone else knows what the hell she’s talking about - including her. Not to be critical, but if they ever decide to do another remake of The Planet of the Apes, they’ve definitely got their lead.

That said, the truth is the primary advantage of requiring folks like Marjorie Taylor Greene to wear a mask is not simply to protect everyone from COVID-19, but also to protect the public from having to look directly into the face of an ignorant, self-absorbed, white nationalist - who has been using the Holocaust to complain about the “horrific inconvenience” she’s been feeling - over being told to wear a mask during a deadly pandemic. I simply can’t imagine what hell she’s been going through.

Now, obviously - this isn’t the first time Marjorie Taylor Greene’s made an anti-semitic remark. Hell, it wouldn’t be unlike her to say something really stupid on all eight days of any given week. Even so, she might wanna consider not shooting her mouth off so much about the Holocaust, or the next thing you know, one of those Jewish Space Lasers that she claimed started the California wildfires - might end up being pointed right at her.
