Congresswoman (and de facto Speaker of the House of Representatives) Marjorie Taylor Greene has long had a habit of comparing people and things she dislikes to Nazis.
On Thursday, Greene took to Twitter to claim Ukrainian President Zelensky has a "Nazi Army." Of course, it isn't the first time she has invoked the Nazis when it comes to Ukraine. In March 2022, she criticized U.S. military aid to Ukraine by asking, (I)s this money and is this United States military equipment falling into the hands of Nazis in Ukraine?”
In May 2021, Greene likened COVID mask mandates to the Holocaust. Although Greene would offer an apology the following month after a visit to the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C., only weeks later characterized federal efforts at vaccinating Americans against COVID as "brownshirts". In October 2021, Greene used the term "vaccine Nazis" during an appearance with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon.
The only people Greene doesn't call Nazis are, well, actual Nazis such as Nick Fuentes. In February 2022, Greene spoke at Fuentes' America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC). Greene claimed she knew nothing of Fuentes or the things for which he stands. I believe that about as much as I believed her "apology" at the U.S. Holocaust Museum.
When Marjorie Taylor Greene calls someone or something a Nazi, she is merely projecting her own views. No doubt she will tell us exactly who she is again very soon.
