Anti-mask, anti-vax protests using Holocaust imagery draw outrage

Jewish groups are condemning the use of Holocaust comparisons by people opposing coronavirus vaccination and mask-wearing.

The big picture: Cities across the country are seeing protests against vaccination and masking requirements amid a surge in COVID-19 cases thanks to the Delta variant and pressures to reopen schools and businesses.

Driving the news: Oklahoma GOP chairman John Bennett on Friday, in a Facebook post, compared companies requiring employees to get vaccines to Nazi Germany forcing Jews to wear the yellow Star of David on their clothes.

New Mexico on Saturday saw a number of anti-mask protests where some demonstrators held signs also linking school mask requirements to the Nazi-era yellow Star of David clothing order.
