“I have made a mistake, and it has really bothered me for a couple weeks now, and so I definitely want to own it,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene. The “mistake” she's referring to? Comparing being made to wear a mask to Nazi gas chambers

George Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Photo: Bloomberg via Getty Images It appears Georgia representative Marjorie Taylor Greene — known for harassing school-shooting survivors, her colleagues, and her colleagues’ children — has learned a few facts about the Holocaust. On Monday, Greene, 47, took a field trip to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

“You know, we can look back at a time in history when 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. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”

Now, after learning a few basic facts about the Holocaust, it appears Greene sees her comments differently. “This afternoon, I visited the Holocaust Museum,” Greene said on Monday. “The Holocaust is — there’s nothing comparable to it. It’s — it happened, and, you know, over 6 million Jewish people were murdered. More than that, there were not just Jewish people — Black people, Christians, all kinds of groups. Children. People that the Nazis didn’t believe were good enough or perfect enough.

However, she later doubled-down yet again on her confusing comparisons of democrats, socialists, the Nazi Party, and COVID restrictions. During the press conference, Greene insisted “that forced masks and forced vaccines and vaccines passports are a type of discrimination, and I’m very much against that type of discrimination.” Ironic given her history of racism and transphobia.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, other Republicans renew calls for Fauci ouster: He 'controlled our lives''Dr. Fauci was not elected by the American people—he was not supposed to guide our economy,' Greene told reporters. My Pillow Guy wasn’t elected….. The fact that this woman has a voice and you repeat her ignorance is mind boggling! Please stop giving her a platform. There are plenty of other Congressional representatives who are smart, and more worthy of air time.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene apologizes for comparing mask-wearing to the HolocaustGreene’s apology came after she visited a Holocaust museum and as Rep. Brad Schneider, D-Ill., reportedly plans to introduce a resolution to censure her. I believe MTG got these comments from Kevin McCarthy and Scalise. I’m sorry --- does this deserve praise? I think I understood the Holocaust was one of the worst injustices in human history. “Middle-aged woman takes field trip to museum and finally learns how bad the Holocaust was, realizes wearing a cloth mask to grocery store is not equivalent to brutal torture and genocide of millions”

Ilhan Omar and Marjorie Taylor Greene Are Not EquivalentIt’s lazily convenient to lump these two “extremists” together. But there’s no comparison in what they’ve said and how they’ve dealt with criticism. ed_kilgore agreed. Omar is 1000 times worse. ed_kilgore must be a Fox News talking point bc my step dad just used the same bs line to me ed_kilgore Putting them in the same headline is gross
