Super Troll Marjorie Taylor Greene Goes Full Hitler
Greene called Pelosi “mentally ill” and compared the House rule on masks to “a time in history when people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second-class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany.”
