Calls to Expel Marjorie Taylor Greene Trend After Masks-Holocaust Remark, Petitions Gain Steam
On 5/23/21 at 12:23 PM EDT
Georgia Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing backlash from social media users as well as criticism from even her own party after she compared U.S. Capitol mask restrictions to the Holocaust.
Greene recently told a podcast host that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi s continuing pandemic mask requirement was similar to Jews told to wear a gold star in Nazi Germany concentration camps. In the aftermath, tens of thousands of tweets Sunday caused the #TimeToExpelMarjorie hashtag to emerge atop Twitter.
Additionally, petitions were created that seek action from Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. A Change.org petition entitled Kevin McCarthy must expel Marjorie Taylor Greene surpassed 10,000 signatures Sunday less than 12 hours after the page was created.
