Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) outdid herself recently, comparing mask mandates in the House of Representatives to the Holocaust and then giving Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) a disgusting nickname which wound up getting her pelted with online barbs.
First came the Holocaust comment, which the Georgia Republican made while speaking with David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network. She told Brody on his podcast:
“You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”
That led the American Jewish Congress to issue a statement criticizing Greene:
“You can never compare health-related restrictions with yellow stars gas chambers and other Nazi atrocities. Such comparisons demean the Holocaust and contaminate American political speech. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene must immediately retract and apologize.”
The Holocaust comments were merely the prelude for a tweet Greene sent out in which she personally attacked Speaker Pelosi:
WTF is that all about?! If Greene doesn’t want to observe the House mask mandate, maybe she should stay home and telecommute to her Washington, D.C. office. Or, even better, maybe Greene needs to find a different line of work because she’s sure as hell isn’t getting anything accomplished in Congress other than proving what a complete shithead she is.
Twitter had some suggestions for Congresswoman Greene, and it’s safe to say she won’t like them:
Marjorie Taylor Greene is a carbuncle on the Congress. The antidote: Voting her sorry ass out of office in 2022.
