Majorie Taylor Greene Visits Holocaust Museum To Remind Herself That Genocide Is Bad

The Georgia Republican's comments came after intense bipartisan backlash for her efforts to compare pandemic-era public health guidelines to the Holocaust.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is attempting to present herself as someone who is not full of hate for marginalized people after receiving intense bipartisan backlash for her repeated comments comparing pandemic-era public health recommendations to the Holocaust. The Georgia Republican and QAnon conspiracy theorist said at a press conference on Monday that she was sorry for those comments. She visited the Holocaust Museum the same day and said she had learned more about the horrors of the Nazi genocide against Jewish people. It’s unclear why Greene had to visit the museum ― or announce that she had visited the museum ― before apologizing for her anti-Semitic comments. Most people are already aware of how horrific the Holocaust was. And that should have included the lawmaker, who revealed on Monday that she had visited the notorious death camp Auschwitz when she was 19 years old.
