Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson apologized on Thursday for comparing Washington, DC's Covid-19 safety protocols to Nazi Germany.

"Bad things happen when governments dehumanize people," said Davidson in a tweet."Sometimes, there is a next step—to systematically segregate them. Unfortunately, any reference to how the Nazis actually did that prevents a focus on anything other than the Holocaust.""I appreciate my Jewish friends who have explained their perspectives and feel horrible that I have offended anyone," he added."My sincere apologies.

The Anti-Defamation League said,"It's never appropriate to compare requirements for public health with the tactics of Nazi Germany. As we've said too many times to count, minimizing the Holocaust in this way is deeply offensive and harmful."Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who is Jewish, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Wednesday that he confronted Davidson about the tweet.

New York City restaurants now have stricter requirements than what our southern border does. Reflect on that one for a moment.

You can’t go out without your ID, your medical status card, and a piece of material that you have to wear in plain sight to mark your compliance with the government. If not fascist then what, communist?

You know if everyone in DC filed restraining orders against him. He wouldn't be able to come to DC

Don't apologize 🥺 Just put on your boots 🙂 boy!

Jerk 👎

Keystone Cops would have been a much better analogy.

Not news worthy.

They say what they want to say and mean it, then apologies come. I don't accept your apology. You meant it when you open your mouth. Tired of these racist hypocrites.

I MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH MANDATES, BUT THAT GUY HAS A BACK WARD MENTALITY.

Wake up, American! Watch what kind ppl you elect to represent you! Don’t demoralizing yourselves again

Israel restricted its COVID Green Pass on Sunday to allow only those who have received a vaccine booster dose or recently recuperated from coronavirus to enter indoor venues.The new criteria mean that nearly 2 million people will lose their vaccination passport in the coming days

They very much are...no need to apologize

Vote for the voting act to prove it

Nazis purposely put people in ovens to kill them. Our Dem gov purposely put covid in the last place on earth you would want it. Nursing homes. Thousands died Soooooo.......yah

Typical non-apology. “I’m sorry that other people were offended by the things I said.” Not “I’m truly sorry for what I said. I shouldn’t have said it.” So telling.

The look on his face says “I thought only magats heard my speech!”

Now waiting on Biden to apologize for his segregationist comment. Neither is acceptable.

When the government takes away human freedom and demands we put a shot in our body or we cannot take part in society- it’s time to learn from history- even Nazi history!

Too late his real feelings came out in first words

To hell with his 'apology'. He need to resign.

UROCKlive1 Too little too late….damage already done. Think before you tweet!

MerryKaate Apology not accepted.

Ignorant 🤡

Ohio Congressman Warren Davidson Compares COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements to Nazi Germany, ApologizesIn a tweet Wednesday, Ohio Rep. Warren Davidson compared D.C.'s COVID-19 vaccination proof requirements to Nazi Germany. In a reply to Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel... Can you imagine these people 50 years ago? Thank god republicans weren't like this then. We'd never have smallpox eradicated, or even establish all the vaccine mandates you find when enrolling in public school.

Neo-Nazi leader sentenced to 7 years for plot to intimidate Jews, journalistsA neo-Nazi leader convicted in a plot to intimidate Jews and journalists has been sentenced to seven years in prison. Em toda a terra, dois terços serão ceifados e perecerão; todavia a terça parte permanecerá!”Mas se ainda ficar nela a décima parte, tornará a ser consumida, como o terebinto, e como o carvalho, dos quais, depois de derrubados, ainda fica o toco. A santa semente é o seu toco. Jews and journalists..? That’s a bit redundant right? Will speak at CPAC soon

Neo-Nazi leader sentenced to 7 years for plot to threaten Jews and journalistsA Neo-Nazi group leader has been sentenced to seven years in prison for his role in a plot to threaten and intimidate Jewish people, journalists and advocates working to expose antisemitism. (Shh you’re not allowed to tell Indiana students about this) If this guy was on the right or a Trump supporter then you know they'd have mentioned it in almost every paragraph. The lack of mentioning his political support tells me he isn't a fan of conservatives. Not surprising, considering Nazism is a form of socialism and far left. Wonderful!

Catholic, Jewish leaders condemn Nazi flag on coffin at Italian funeralItalian Catholic and Jewish leaders condemned as outrageous an episode in which right-wing extremists put a flag with a swastika on a coffin outside a church.
