A Republican Representative Is Facing Backlash Over Her Comments Comparing Mask Regulations to the Holocaust
Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Tuesday condemned comments from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) comparing a mask requirement to the Holocaust.
“This morning Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican congresswoman from Georgia, once again compared preparations taken against COVID to the Holocaust. These are sickening, reprehensible comments, and she should stop this vile language immediately,” Schumer, who is the first Jewish Senate majority leader, said from the floor.
McConnell told CNN that her comments are “outrageous” and “reprehensible.”
