4 GOP candidates in key House races invoke the Holocaust against mask and vaccine mandates

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene sparked outrage when she called on “rational” Jewish people to back her claim that mask mandates are comparable to the Holocaust. The Georgia Republican later apologized and visited the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.

Then there’s Rep. Madison Cawthorn, a Republican from North Carolina, who made a similar comparison about possible vaccine passports.
