Warren Davidson issued an apology Thursday after he compared Washington, D.C.\u2019s new COVID-19 vaccine requirement to the Nazi treatment of Jews in the run-up to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBad things happen when governments dehumanize people. Sometimes, there is a next step \u2014 to systematically segregate them. Unfortunately, any reference to how the Nazis actually did that prevents a focus on anything other than the Holocaust,\u201d Davidson said in a statement. \u201cI appreciate my Jewish friends who have explained their perspectives and feel horrible that I offended anyone.
