Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is declaring that she “never compared” COVID-19 pandemic restrictions to the Holocaust.
Greene tweeted on Tuesday, “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.”
The lawmaker added, “Everyone should be concerned about the squads support for terrorists and discrimination against unvaxxed people. Why aren’t they?”
She was responding to Ben Shapiro, who is Jewish, where he replied to her tweet, “It is nothing like the Holocaust, and any comparison thereto is both insulting and insane.
The tweet Shapiro responded to was where Greene wrote, “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.”
She also responded to another tweet:
In another tweet on Tuesday, Greene responded to news of the University of Virginia requiring students to get the COVID-19 vaccine before returning to in-person classes in the fall.
She responded, “It appears Nazi practices have already begun on our youth,” calling it “disgusting.”
Greene said during an interview on Real America’s Voice, “You know, we can look back at a time in history when 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.”
