QAnon-loving Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday tripled down on her comparison of public health advocates to Nazis in a tweet that earned immediate backlash from many of her followers.
Specifically, Greene attacked a grocery store chain for lifting its mask mandate requirements for employees and customers who can provide proof of full vaccination.
Greene zeroed in on the fact that employees at Food City grocery stores will have logos on their employee badges verifying their vaccination status, which she compared to Nazis who forced Jews to wear yellow stars in the years leading up to the Holocaust.
"Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi's forced Jewish people to wear a gold star," she wrote. "Vaccine passports & mask mandates create discrimination against unvaxxed people who trust their immune systems to a virus that is 99% survivable."
Greene's historically and scientifically illiterate rant against vaccinations drew swift blowback -- check out some reactions below.
GOP still somehow can't understand why American Jews vote mostly for Democrats.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— LetsGetReal (@LetsGetReal) 1621942912
I\u2019m torn here. Don\u2019t want to give this idiotic act any oxygen, but as a Jew, I feel compelled to point out how disgusting this is.\n\nNazis murdered 6 million Jews. This kind of bullshit drives me crazy. absolutely crazy.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Jake Sherman (@Jake Sherman) 1621942883
To associate a \u201cvaccination logo\u201d with the Judenstern Jews were forced to wear is an appalling affront to the memory of those lost in the Holocaust.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Trevor Khan (@Trevor Khan) 1621942465
Does she think the Nazis forced the Jews to wear "gold stars" as a reward that entitled them to special privileges? Because otherwise what's this obscene comparison even doing?https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Arieh Kovler (@Arieh Kovler) 1621942422

Area congresswoman who doesn't know how to use apostrophes is still comparing things to the Holocaust.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Andrew Feinberg (@Andrew Feinberg) 1621942267
Ask her about the little round pin she allows them to force her to wear in Congress.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— David Waldman-1, of Yorktown LLC\u2122 (@David Waldman-1, of Yorktown LLC\u2122) 1621943368
Never forget that the GOP will defend this more than Liz Cheney, who was stripped of her leadership position for simply stating the truth about the election.https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Josh Jordan (@Josh Jordan) 1621943052
Giving people who get proof of a free benefit to their own and others\u2019 health is, apparently \u201cjust like\u201d laws by a murderous regime to mandatorily mark all people born with Jewish ancestry for hate and eventual mass exterminationhttps://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1397150992341377027\u00a0\u2026— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@Edward-Isaac Dovere) 1621942627
