Republican Congresswoman and prominent conspiracy theorist Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia has already made waves in Congress for her belligerent behavior and prior support for conspiracy theories and the execution of her now-colleagues.
On Tuesday, Greene doubled down on disturbing comparisons between pandemic safety precautions and the Holocaust, likening vaccine verifications implemented by private businesses to the yellow stars of David that Jews were forced to wear in Germany ahead of and during World War II.
Greene said in a tweet:
"Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi's [sic] forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.
Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable."
She went on to say:
"Pretty soon it will be..
'We only hire vaccinated people, show your vax papers.'
'We only admit vaccinated students, show your vax papers.'
'These bathrooms are only for vaccinated people, show your vax papers.'
Then.. ...scan your bar code or swipe your chip on your arm."
The deranged rant prompted a rare rebuke of Greene from House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, who's faced widespread criticism for his hesitation to discipline Greene for her unwell behavior.
Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.\n\nLet me be clear: the House Republican Conference condemns this language.\n\nMy full statement:https://bit.ly/2TlwCtD— Kevin McCarthy (@Kevin McCarthy) 1621951536
Greene, who accused Democrats and the media of twisting her words, went on to push back against Republicans like Ben Shapiro for criticizing her.
Then she tweeted—and promptly deleted—a post thanking a supporter for defending her, while calling McCarthy a "feckless c**t in the process.

Greene said in the tweet:
"Thank you for seeing the truth and how much I support Israel and stand against the left's support for Hamas terrorists."
Greene deleted the tweet six minutes after posting it, but the internet is forever.
Well, she deleted it. Too late\n\nEven ideologues get a pucker factor\u2014Greene puckered hard. You can disagree with Kevin (he was right about her ignorance), but supporting this language against the GOP leader is unhinged buffoonery.\n\nLet\u2019s see what happens...https://twitter.com/andrewsolender/status/1397234393400369163\u00a0\u2026— Denver Riggleman (@Denver Riggleman) 1621967558

MTG retweets someone describing Kevin McCarthy as "a feckless c*nt." (which, strangely enough, I agree with 100%)\n\nMTG deletes that retweet 6 minutes later.\n\nThe internet is FOREVER. Welcome.\nhttps://projects.propublica.org/politwoops/tweet/1397233549636509698\u00a0\u2026https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1397234393400369163\u00a0\u2026— DJ FM\u00ae (@DJ FM\u00ae) 1621969028
They also used the tweet to call out McCarthy's leadership—or lack thereof.
In the end, Marjorie Taylor Greene is going to win this battle and McCarthy will be the one bowing to her and her supporters.https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1397234393400369163\u00a0\u2026— Justin Baragona (@Justin Baragona) 1621963624
Just so long as MTG doesn't call out Republicans for promoting lies about the election or the Jan. 6 insurrection.\n\nThat's the red line you can't cross in Kevin McCarthy's House GOP conference.https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1397234393400369163\u00a0\u2026— Matt Fuller (@Matt Fuller) 1621963906
In other words, @GOPLeader is as spineless as @tedcruz. Both are emblematic of the depth of cowardice and rot in the @GOP.https://twitter.com/AndrewSolender/status/1397234393400369163\u00a0\u2026— Marla Tauscher (@Marla Tauscher) 1621968816
McCarthy has yet to respond to the insult.
