Kevin McCarthy Condemns Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene After She Compared Mask Mandates to Holocaust

HeadlineMay 26, 2021

After days of silence, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy condemned recent comments by far-right Georgia Congressmember Marjorie Taylor Greene comparing mask mandates to the Holocaust. Greene said on a conservative talk show last week that House Speaker Nancy’s Pelosi’s requirement that congressmembers keep wearing masks while on the House floor is “exactly the type of abuse” experienced by Jews under the Nazis. On Tuesday, she tweeted an article about a grocery store where vaccinated employees will wear a vaccination logo on their name tag, likening the logo to the yellow Star of David badges worn by Jews in Nazi Germany. Illinois Congressmember Brad Schneider is calling on other Democrats to join him in a motion to censure Greene.
