Yesterday, Florida Democratic Congressman Jared Moskowitz called upon Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, "Get yourself over to the Holocaust Museum."
Moskowitz was prompted to do so during a House Oversight Committee after Greene likened Ukrainians to Nazis.
Now I like Jared Moskowitz. He isn't afraid to go toe to toe with the Marjorie Taylor Greenes of the world.
However, there was one problem with his suggestion. Greene did go to the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. back in June 2021 after she had likened COVID restrictions to Nazism. Greene claimed, “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.”
At the time of her visit, Greene was full of contrition stating, "There is no comparison to the Holocaust". Yet less than a month after her visit, Greene called the Biden Administration "brown shirts" for their COVID vaccine distribution program.
During an interview with Steve Bannon in November 2021, Greene declared, “They’re ruining our country, these vaccine Nazis. I’m sorry. I know I’m using the word Nazi and everybody gets mad when I say it, but that’s exactly what they are.”
Needless to say, another visit to the National Holocaust Museum would be wasted on her and wouldn't do anyone a bit of good. Ditto if she came up to Boston to see the Auschwitz: Not Long Ago Not Far Away exhibit or even Auschwitz itself. For her part, Greene claims she visited Auschwitz as a teenager. In which case, Marjorie Taylor Greene will never understand the horrors of the Holocaust nor does she want to do so. As I observed in June 2023, Greene calls everyone and everything Nazis except for actual Nazis.
