Marjorie Taylor Greene goes on Trump court journalist David Brody’s show and compares House mask mandates to the Holocaust

John Fea   |  May 22, 2021

Here is CNN:

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, during an interview on a conservative podcast this week, compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to continue to require members of the House to wear masks on the chamber floor to steps the Nazis took to control the Jewish population during the Holocaust.

Greene, in a conversation with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody Real America’s Voice TV show “The Water Cooler,” attacked Pelosi and accused her of being a hypocrite for asking GOP members to prove they have all been vaccinated before allowing members to be in the House chamber without a mask.

“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,” Greene said. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”

Read the rest here.

David Brody, a Trump court evangelical disguised as a journalist, advertised the conversation with Greene on Twitter. Rather than using his feed to condemn the remarks, Brody invited his followers to join him in an online discussion about it, suggesting that reasonable people can disagree over Greene’s remarks:

Watch Brody nod in his head in agreement:

MTG says Speaker Pelosi wanting Members of Congress to get vaccinated and if not to wear masks is “exactly the type of abuse” as murdering Jews in gas chambers during the Holocaust and David Brody nods along. No follow up. pic.twitter.com/inXfD8UBiG

Just to be clear: 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust.
