RNC Receives Home Truths Over Its Holocaust Remembrance Day Tribute
The Republican National Committee was slammed for hypocrisy over a tweet marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Thursday.
“Today we remember, along with the world, the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust. We will never forget,” the RNC wrote in honor of the 6 million Jewish victims and millions of others who were killed during Nazi genocide.

Critics on Twitter reminded the RNC of how numerous Republicans have likened coronavirus vaccine and mask mandates to the Holocaust.
Last year, conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) tweeted, “Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s forced Jewish people to wear a gold star.” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) shared a meme of an arm tattooed with a concentration camp identification number. And the Oklahoma GOP shared a similarly offensive post on Facebook.
Comparing vaccination mandates to Holocaust victims tells me you have forgotten.

Note to @GOP: masks & vaccines ≠ Holocaust.
Tell your followers. A lot of them don't seem to comprehend this.— Humphrey 😷 Chromefinger 🌊🇺🇸🦅🗽🌎🕊🏴☠️ (@HChromefinger) January 27, 2022
Weird flex considering how quickly many of the GOP compare things to the Holocaust when there is no comparison at all. Not to mention a few of the "tourists" on 1/6 wearing stuff that makes fun of it. Also how many at your rallies were symbols of the Nazi party. Etc.
