(Jewish Group) Republican House rep shares quote from neo-Nazi to criticize Fauci

Thomas Massie, a U.S. House representative from Kentucky, criticized Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, with a quote by the American white supremacist and neo-Nazi Kevin Alfred Strom.

Massie shared a meme with the quote “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,” which was actually said, in slightly different words, by the French philosopher Voltaire.

USA Today fact checked the quote’s origins after a meme of it went viral last year.

In the image shared by Massie, a hand presses down on a group of people next to the quote. Massie captioned the image, “You mustn’t question Fauci, for he is science.”
