MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace left the Republican party after the rise of former President Donald Trump, eventually becoming one of the party's foremost critics just two presidential election cycles after working on prominent Republican campaigns.
On Tuesday, the Deadline: White House host set her sights on House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia.
Greene—a prominent conspiracy theorist—repeatedly compared pandemic precautions to the Holocaust.
On the Christian Broadcasting Network this past Friday, Greene said of unvaccinated lawmakers being told to wear masks in the Capitol:
"You know, we can look back at a time in history where 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."
She only doubled down on Twitter this past Tuesday.
Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi\u2019s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star. \n\nVaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable.https://www.wvlt.tv/2021/05/17/food-city-to-allow-fully-vaccinated-customers-employees-to-shop-without-masks/\u00a0\u2026— Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Marjorie Taylor Greene \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1621941729
It wasn't until the third or fourth time Greene made the comparison that McCarthy, who's largely capitulated to Greene's belligerent antics in Congress, issued a rare rebuke.
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
McCarthy's tweet linked to a lengthy statement, but Wallace was so over it.
Watch below.
\u201cI\u2019m not going to read the rest of this. Blah blah blah. It came five days late. That\u2019s all you need to know\u201dpic.twitter.com/EME1I1mv3S— Acyn (@Acyn) 1621974835
Wallace tried to read the statement short, but couldn't bring herself to finish, saying:
"I'm not going to read the rest of this. Blah, blah blah. It came five days late. That's all you need to know."
People shared her exasperation.
.\nTranslation: It took Kevin five whole days to figure out this is bad.https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1397289849871241220\u00a0\u2026— \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a Burls \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a (@\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a Burls \ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a\ud83c\udf0a) 1621993941
Words. This is all we get!

I love when she dismisses the foolery this way. Not. Worth. Reading.https://twitter.com/acyn/status/1397289849871241220\u00a0\u2026— Maureen (@Maureen) 1621976427
Nicolle - Excellent Reporting. The only appropriate response IMO. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1397289849871241220\u00a0\u2026— Cindy Curry \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@Cindy Curry \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1621975091
It's unclear whether McCarthy will take concrete action to expel Greene from Congress or otherwise sanction her, now that she's amplified tweets referring to him with expletives.
