House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is condemning anti-Semitic comments Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made comparing mask mandates to the deaths of six million Jewish people in the Holocaust. McCarthy did not appear on camera, but released a statement.
Unfortunately McCarthy’s statement couldn’t just focus on Greene though. He also took time to bash the Speaker of the House:
“At a time when the Jewish people face increased violence and threats, anti-Semitism is on the rise in the Democrat Party and is completely ignored by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
While he didn’t refer to specific incidents and there are no similar instances in the Democratic ranks, it’s important to note that Speaker Pelosi has repeatedly condemned anti-Semitism.
The other issue with McCarthy’s statement was the lack of consequences for Greene.
GOP Minority Whip Steve Scalise also released a statement.
