RIGHT NOW: @RepMTG is apologizing for comments she made comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust. She said that her father taught her to take responsibility when she makes a mistake- and in this instance she made a mistake. pic.twitter.com/4od9QEVeHZ

NEWS: Rep. @mtgreenee privately visited the Holocaust Museum today and will hold a news availability this evening to express contrition for previous remarks about Jewish people.

This has been in the works for about a week, per a source.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy condemned Greene’s remarks soon after she made them on May 25, saying that the Holocaust is “the greatest atrocity in human history.” He went on to call Greene’s remarks “appalling.”

Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.

Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.

Greene had repeatedly compared forcing employees and others to wear proof of vaccination to Nazis forcing Jewish people to wear a gold star.

Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.

Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable.https://t.co/6X6VNolcA7

Well hate freedom media would you look at this story.

It appears Nazi practices have already begun on our youth.

Show your VAX papers or no in person class for you.

This is exactly what I was saying about the gold star.

This is disgusting!https://t.co/YIttsMRaW9

Greene did not apologize for her comment in a statement to the Daily Caller on May 25.

“At a time when the Socialist Democrats and the Jihad Squad are supporting terrorist Hamas, and their supporters are attacking Jewish people on the streets of America, it’s never been more important than now to stand up against forced vaccinations and mask mandates that the left is using to discriminate against Americans who refuse to comply,” Greene said

“Their attempts to shame, ostracize, and brand Americans who choose not to get vaccinated or wear a mask are reminiscent of the great tyrants of history who did the same to those who would not comply. And everyone feeding into it is allowing them to hide the truth, which is the disgusting anti-Semitism within the Democrat Party,” she continued.
