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.
How could anyone be upset with Green’s comparison when Omar and others constantly bash Isreal, Republicans, White people and on and on. Maybe some sense of patriotism and support of our Constitution could inspire human behavior in this our United States. Division is absolutely not acceptable. We are not a country ruled by a dictator but by ALL the people following our Constitution. Let’s get started.
Apologizing for being right is wrong.
Don’t apologize for shining a light on abuse of power,like Social distancing, and Masks
I cannot understand the insanity in this country with people believing social distancing and face masks are an abuse of power. When this pandemic started I had SIX of my doctors call me individually to make certain I stayed away from people and a few suggested multiple masks. Even my urologist called. 3 of them are known Trump supporters so it definitely wasn’t politically motivated. Once we reach “herd immunity” all will be well. The Constitution most definitely authorizes such conduct whether we like it or not because “We the People” in our Preamble included “,,,promote the general welfare…”. Think about it. We need to convince our skeptic friends to get vaccinated and the sooner the better. UNICEF fears that polio will return to America since 80,000,000 children globally have not been vaccinated while we’re warding off Covid-19. The sooner the better !!
Any good will from a DemoCrap is a bit of light in a cloud of ‘swamp snakes’.
Good choice not to introduce a resolution against her……at least after she saw the inhumane treatment and death of 6+ million murders of Jewish men, women and children at the hands of the nazis, she was honorable and woman enough to admit her comparison was wrong. This is far more than can be said of any Democrat! The “squat squad” and many other Democrats owe the American people so many apologies, I have lost count! But, don’t hold your breath waiting to get apologies unless you want a death from asphyxiation!
Now tell those two ugly muslim reps.to apoligize for all the evil things they have said and done.
EXACTLY, but that STUPID Witch PELOSI won’t do that.
Never apologize for what you think is right! He comment was comparing apples to oranges! Pelosi can ignore all the rules set by our do nothing Congress but when someone else rocks the boat it is headline news! How can Congress,members have double standards for themselves?
It’s time for all of us to forget the Fauci’s of this world and get back to normal. No more control by the Demnuts !!
I though I would wait and see what she did they keep hounding her I saw
she did not let me down
At last , (1) DEMOCRAT with some sense !!
I agree with Marjorie before the apology. Pelosi is gung ho to kill babies & calls herself a good Catholic. She probably gave the order to the police to allow the crowd into the Capitol.
Her truth hurt?
Actually it is none of anyone’s business whether or not I am vaccinated and in fact it is illegal to pry into my medical history. Aside from this, it is a good way to find out who your friends are / are not.
