Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent figure in the GOP and daughter of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, has been at the center of controversy for her views on Jews and Holocaust survivors since she published an article on the topic last year. In her latest article, Marjorie continues to defend her controversial beliefs about Holocaust survivors and Jewish people.<\/p>\n

The GOP Leadership Torn on how to deal with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Her recent tweet comparing the vaccination logo to the Nazi gold star. It comes on the back of another comparison she made between wearing masks and the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

\"marjorie<\/p>\n

An increased outcry due to cases of attacks on Jewish-Americans in the wake of the recent clashes between Israel and Hamas places greater pressure on the GOP to act. Continuing to ignore antisemitic rhetoric from one of their own will not be a good look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Greene clashed with GOP leader Kevin McCarthy who criticized her irresponsible speech. She referred to him as a “feckless cunt.” Although the tweet was subsequently deleted, the damage is already done.<\/p>\n

Such is the danger of using public forums to air out dirty laundry.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some Republican congressional leaders have shown interest in recalling Marjorie Taylor Greene after the congresswoman made controversial remarks comparing coronavirus limitations to the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

It would take 290 votes from Congress to expel Greene.<\/p>\n

There are currently 223 Democrats and 213 Republicans in the House. A resolution to censure Greene currently has 73 cosponsors in Congress.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the new Republican Party Chair Elise Stefanik also commented to Dr. Greene’s remarks, writing: “Equating mask-wearing and vaccines to the Holocaust belittles the most significant human atrocities ever committed.”<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Greene’s sentiments are not widely shared by her colleagues.<\/p>\n

Why GOP May Struggle To Get Rid Of Her<\/h2>\n

Greene is not a complete persona-non-grata. She has garnered a following across the country. That will make it a little bit difficult to get rid of her. There are those that agree with what she has said. The anti-semitics within the GOP would also support her.<\/p>\n

We are not far removed from protesters screaming “The Jews will not replace us.” It is not a stretch to think Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments will be met with some sympathy.<\/p>\n

Let us see how this one plays out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
