Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene refers to Nazi-era 'brown shirts' in opposing vaccination push

WASHINGTON — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., made another Nazi-era comparison Tuesday as she railed against the Biden administration’s ramped-up efforts to encourage Americans to get vaccinated against Covid-19 as the Delta variant spreads.

Greene, who recently apologized for comparing mask mandates at the U.S. Capitol to the Holocaust, said in a tweet that people have a choice to get vaccinated and don’t need “medical brown shirts” knocking on doors to urge them to do so. She was responding to remarks Biden made Tuesday about deploying people into communities to get people to take the vaccine.

“Biden pushing a vaccine that is NOT FDA approved shows covid is a political tool used to control people,” she tweeted. “People have a choice, they don’t need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations. You can’t force people to be part of the human experiment.”

During the 1920s and '30s, a paramilitary organization that helped facilitate the rise of the Nazis and Hitler were referred to as the brownshirts because of the color of their uniforms, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

No. The SA "brown shirts" were those who quarantined us. The SS "black shirts" are vaccinators . . . Journeyman Jul 2021 #8

The reason being that full approval takes a long time and much larger studies than have been done up to now. If we had to wait for full approval, I guarantee she would be complaining about why it’s taking so long to make the vaccine available.

... evolution but refuses to evolve herself.

I wonder what other mis-referenced WWII "trivia" she'll mine for us.

Of course Marjorie Taylor Greene is comparing life-saving vaccine efforts to Nazi-era Brown Shirts... Her visit to the Holocaust Museum was for INSPIRATION on how to further trivialize a genocide, not to actually apologize.

She's not fucking sorry.
She's dangerous.
Expel her.

..."not me! You're the Nazi!!"

No, Empty. You and your party are the Nazis. Pointing elsewhere won't help. In fact, to sane people you appear pathetic and weak.
