McCarthy blasts Greene for Holocaust comments

U.S. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy denounced fellow Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday for repeatedly comparing COVID-19 safety protocols to the Holocaust.

It was a rare intra-party rebuke by McCarthy, who has been hesitant to criticize allies of former President Donald Trump.

In a statement McCarthy wrote that, "Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling.

The Holocaust is the greatest atrocity committed in history.

The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling.” The Republican leader didn’t suggest any disciplinary action.

His statement followed a Tuesday morning rant on Twitter by Greene in which she commented on an article about a grocery store identifying its vaccinated employees: "Vaccinated employees get a vaccination logo just like the Nazi’s [sic] forced Jewish people to wear a gold star." After McCarthy's statement she tweeted, “I’m sorry some of my words make people uncomfortable." It's the latest eruption among Republicans in the House, where McCarthy and other party leaders have sought to forge unity after ousting Representative Liz Cheney from her No.

3 leadership role for denouncing Trump's false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.

Earlier this year McCarthy and the House Republican caucus refused to take action against Taylor Greene for her prior incendiary remarks.

When the party declined to act, the House did, with 11 Republicans joining Democrats in the February vote stripping her of her committee assignments.

House Passes Stopgap Funding Bill to Avert Shutdown; Senate Vote & Biden’s Approval Next

The House passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown just hours before the midnight deadline. The bill extends funding through March 2025, providing disaster relief and farm aid, but excludes the debt limit suspension demanded by President-elect Trump. The bill now moves to the Senate for approval before being sent to President Biden. Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans worked to secure Democratic support, while Trump’s opposition led to changes in the bill's provisions. #GovernmentShutdown #StopgapFunding #HouseVote #DisasterRelief #FarmAid #DebtLimit #SenateApproval #PresidentBiden #RepublicanLeadership #TrumpOpposition #Oneindia #OneindiaNews Also Read Government Shutdown: What It Means for Federal Employees and Social Security Payments :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-shutdown-impacts-on-federal-employees-011-4021087.html?ref=DMDesc Trump's New Demands Result in Collapse of Bipartisan Government Funding Plan Ahead of Deadline :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/government-funding-plan-collapses-trump-demands-011-4020029.html?ref=DMDesc US Congress Approves Temporary Funding Bill to Prevent Government Shutdown Until December :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-congress-passes-temporary-funding-bill-avoid-shutdown-011-3945067.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~PR.362~GR.125~
