A resolution to censure Marjorie Taylor Greene for antisemitism awaits her return to Washington
House Democrats are looking to censure Marjorie Taylor Greene for continuing to use the Holocaust to make political points, and rebuke her for intentional diminishment of the horrors of the Nazis.
Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois and four other House members have filed a resolution condemning Greene, a Georgia Republican, for comparing efforts to vaccinate Americans against COVID-19 to the Nazis subjugation of Jews, and for likening President Joe Biden to Hitler.
Civic leaders have a duty to condemn hate and bigotry rather than amplify and spread dangerous, divisive rhetoric for political purposes, Schneider, who is Jewish, tweeted Friday. We must show that the US Congress doesnt condone antisemitism in our halls of government.
The resolution points out five instances in which Greene, on television or social media, made comments that invoked the Holocaust to criticize a foe or policy. Some comments were made after she had visited the United State Holocaust Memorial Museum and apologized for remarks Ive made which I know are offensive.
