Democrat Rep. Brad Schneider says that he will not be introducing any resolution to censure Georgia Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene after her comments comparing Covid-19 mandates to the Holocaust sparked an outrage. Multiple Republicans and Democrats condemned Greene’s analogy and on Monday the conservative firebrand made a public apology during a visit to Washington’s Holocaust Memorial Museum.

The Hill reports:

“I appreciate that after her visit she understood the harm of her comparison and offered an apology. In light of her apology, I am electing not to go forward at this time with introducing a resolution of censure,” Schneider said in a statement.

Greene first made the analogy after she was one of several Republicans fined $500 for refusing to comply with rules to wear masks on the House floor. The Capitol physician has since issued updated guidance in effect stating that only people who aren’t vaccinated should still wear masks.

“You know, we can look back in 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,” Greene said on the right-wing network Real America’s Voice. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”

Greene later reacted to a report about a Tennessee grocery store requiring vaccinated employees to include vaccination logos on their name badges by tweeting, “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazis forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.”

Last week Schnieder also called out radical Democrat Ilhan Omar for her rhetoric comparing the United States and Israel to terrorist organizations like the Taliban and Hamas.
