Forbes reports:
Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is not backing down from her comparisons between coronavirus restrictions and the Holocaust, in which around six million Jews were killed by Nazi Germany between 1941 and 1945, instead doubling down in a Tuesday morning Twitter rant.
Greene said a Tennessee supermarket’s decision to add a “vaccination logo” to the name badges of vaccinated employees is “just like” the yellow stars Jews were forced by Nazis to wear to identify themselves.
Just issued by Kevin McCarthy:
Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling.
At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democrat Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust. Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.
The final tweet below is from a pro-Trump lobbyist tied to McCarthy. He’s defended Greene in the past.
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

Pretty soon it will be..
“We only hire vaccinated people, show your vax papers.”
“We only admit vaccinated students, show your vax papers.”
“These bathrooms are only for vaccinated people, show your vax papers.”
Then..
…scan your bar code or swipe your chip on your arm.— Marjorie Taylor Greene ?? (@mtgreenee) May 25, 2021
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

You are a liar. Stop twisting my words.
If you care about people NOT being discriminated against or being treated unequally then you would use your platform to be against vaccine passports.
Instead you are all in for this sick Socialism just like good little state run media. https://t.co/6ToR5TSuAA

I never compared it to the Holocaust, only the discrimination against Jews in early Nazi years.
Stop feeding into the left wing media attacks on me.
Everyone should be concerned about the squads support for terrorists and discrimination against unvaxxed people.
Why aren’t they? https://t.co/z1zotvegg9— Marjorie Taylor Greene ?? (@mtgreenee) May 25, 2021
WTF is wrong with you? I think you need to pay a visit to the US Holocaust Museum.I’d be happy to arrange.Then maybe going forward you wouldn’t make anymore disgusting, ignorant and offensive tweets.If I’m wrong and you’re not ignorant about Holocaust..then you are disgusting. https://t.co/mJNCcSgWpM
