As Twitchy reported earlier, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy issued a statement calling out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for retweeting an article about mask requirements and adding, “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.” “Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling,” McCarthy tweeted.
Naturally, Democrats are calling for Greene to be ousted from Congress for the remark, and the media is happy to blow up the story as large as possible. Yes, comparing anything to the Holocaust is a bad idea, but Yossi Gestetner decided to take a trip back to the Trump administration when the Washington Post compared Trump’s America to the Holocaust.

So that person pitched the idea that Trump’s America was like the Holocaust, and the Washington Post’s editors said, “Let’s go with it!” and published it?

Video: Dem @RepLawrence explained in Sep 2020 how Trump is following Hitler in terms of tactics that led to the Holocaust. You didn’t know about this until now because neither @HouseDemocrats nor @HouseGOP made a big issue out of it or an issue at all. pic.twitter.com/hn46nFA5Cy

We’re old enough to remember when several Democrats objected to the certification of the electoral vote for Donald Trump in 2017, and no one accused them of being insurrectionists, either. No one batted an eye.
