Oklahoma GOP criticized for likening vaccine mandates to Nazi persecution of Jews Published OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Oklahoma Republican Party faced fierce criticism Friday for a Facebook post likening COVID-19 vaccine mandates to the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi Germany. The post on the party’s official Facebook page urged people to call the lieutenant governor and ask him to call a special session to prohibit employers from requiring their employees to get vaccinated. It featured a picture of a yellow Star of David with the word "unvaccinated" on it and said: "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it."
