Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in a Thursday interview expressed her opposition to mask-wearing rules at the Capitol and called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has enforced the mandate, “mentally ill.” “This woman is mentally ill,” the Georgia Republican told the far-right network, Real America’s Voice, of Pelosi. Greene’s criticism came hours after the California Democrat had reiterated that all House members and staff must continue to wear masks on the floor, except for when speaking. Pelosi said the decision is not a “subjective” one and that she is following guidance from the Capitol’s attending physician. “What is this, the honor system? The honor system as to whether somebody’s been vaccinated?” Pelosi said. “Do you want them breathing in your face on the strength of their honor?” Greene continued her rant against Pelosi by comparing the mask-wearing requirement to the Holocaust. “You know, we can look back in a time in history where 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,” Greene said. “And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about.”
