Freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene paid a visit to the Holocaust museum on Monday in a bid to defuse the controversy over her comments comparing vaccine and mask requirements to Nazi Germany.from both parties for her inflammatory remarks — wanted to show contrition for her behavior, according to a source familiar with her thinking.
GOP leaders have condemned Greene for her remarks about the Holocaust but stopped short of calling for any disciplinary action. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also defended Greene when Democrats kicked her off her committees earlier this year for calling some of the nation’s deadliest school shootings a hoax and endorsing social media posts that called for violence against top Democrats.
Rep. Ilhan Omar speaks during a news conference on March 11, 2021 in Washington, D.C. | Drew Angerer/Getty Imagesto what Omar recently said about an International Criminal Court probe of war crimes allegations against both the Taliban and the U.S. in Afghanistan and by Hamas and Israel. GOP leaders haven’t yet decided whether to force a vote on the floor to boot Omar from the the House Foreign Affairs Committee or to censure her, but they are eager to keep the spotlight on Democrats' intraparty divisions. The topic was discussed at a GOP leadership meeting Monday afternoon, according to sources who were present, and is expected to come up again during a wider Republican conference meeting on Tuesday morning.
I’m a Democrat, and consider Greene one of the worst people of 2021, but comparing mask rules to gas Nazi chambers is in bad taste, but it’s not anti-Semitic. Hyperbole is a tool of expression. Being able to discern exaggeration or stupidity from a holocaust is why we have brains
a disingenuous and sanctimonious gesture. I wouldn't believe for a minute she means what she says. She's garnering votes and trying to save face. A leopard doesn't change it's spots.
Do NOT give her more time. She is abhorrent and needs to be out of everything. Now.
So, she's losing donors and the FBI just issued a warning about her Q buddies. BFD. Apology not accepted.
I’ll bet she just stopped by to use the bathroom.
She still isn't forgiven.
Maybe next she can pay a visit to Speaker Pelosi's office where she can tender her resignation? MarjorieTaylorGreeneIsUnfit
I'm not buying her newly discovered empathy routine.

bamableu Frankly surprised she didn't start melting away upon entering.
The Jewish laser beam must have hit her in the head and knocked a tiny bit of sense into it. Don’t expect lasting effects.
