Complain, complain, that’s all you’ve done ever since we lost
If it’s not the Crucifixion then it’s the Holocaust:
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, during an interview on a conservative podcast this week, compared House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s decision to continue to require members of the House to wear masks on the chamber floor to steps the Nazis took to control the Jewish population during the Holocaust.Greene, in a conversation with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody Real America’s Voice TV show “The Water Cooler,” attacked Pelosi and accused her of being a hypocrite for asking GOP members to prove they have all been vaccinated before allowing members to be in the House chamber without a mask. “You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany,” Greene said. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”Jewish groups were quick to condemn Greene’s remarks.
Fascism isn’t trying to nullify an election, it’s applying CDC guidelines to mask wearing, or something. It’s also impressive to level a charge of ‘hypocrisy” that is not merely irrelevant but has no possible coherent basis.
Also note the levels of bullshit going on here:
A CNN survey of members of Congress discovered that every Democrat of Congress in both the House and Senate are fully vaccinated. In the Senate, 92% of Republicans say they are vaccinated, but only 44.8% of House Republicans would say if they have received the necessary shots. More than 100 Republicans in the House still won’t disclose their vaccine status. That prompted Pelosi to leave the mask mandate in place, despite new guidance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that said vaccinated people can safely be indoors without wearing masks. “We have a responsibility to make sure that the House of Representatives’ chamber is not a petri dish because of the selfishness of some not to be vaccinated,” Pelosi said.
Note the critical difference between “refuses to disclose vaccination status” and “haven’t been vaccinated.” One could call urging your supporters to take risks you yourself won’t “hypocrisy,” although “cynical rube-running” seems more appropriate.

Sure, she’s a graduate of the state’s flagship public university worth north of $30 million because she inherited a construction company, and sure that speech not only isn’t funny but doesn’t even have any jokes in it, but she’s working class because she’s a deranged bullshit artist who is fanatically committed to upward wealth distribution, which must be what working class means because Josh Hawley is a socialist and…anyway, buy my supplements!
