Marjorie Taylor Greene is in hot water again and two top Republicans are already condemning her comments

by The Right Scoop

This morning Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted something controversial that has landed her in hot water:

Honestly, I don’t like the comparison. I agree with her on vaccine passports and the ultimate aim of her tweet, but the comparison with Jews who were ultimately holocausted is not a good one. I find myself agreeing with Ari Fleischer:

 
This tweet has already made it up the ranks to the top Republicans in the House and they are condemning it:

The top two House Republican leaders on Tuesday condemned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) for repeatedly equating COVID-19 vaccination and mask-wearing rules to the Holocaust, the murder of 6 million Jews during World War II.

“Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling. The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history. The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said in a statement.

“At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democrat Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi,” he continued. “Americans must stand together to defeat anti-Semitism and any attempt to diminish the history of the Holocaust.

“Let me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.”

Lauren Fine, a spokeswoman for House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), said he “does not agree with these comments and condemns these comparisons to the Holocaust. We also need to be speaking out strongly against the dangerous anti-Semitism that is growing in our streets and in the Democrat party, resulting in an alarming number of horrific violent attacks against Jews.”

Greene has since clarified her comment, saying she wasn’t comparing it to the holocaust but to the early discrimination of the Jews. But she’s still defiant about the analogy:

 
I still don’t like it, but I also get her point about how everyone is going to come down on her like a ton of bricks while AOC and the Squad get a pass for supporting terrorism and anti-Semitism. Like this:

I think people like Kinzinger see bashing MTG as a right of passage, like he automatically gets bonus points for trashing her out loud. I went back and looked at his tweets over the last couple of weeks and not one word about AOC and her squad members trashing Israel for defending themselves. Not one word.

This is why so many on the right hate the GOP.
