Republican leaders have condemned party colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene over her “appalling” comparison of Covid-19 safety measures to the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany. It comes as, over in the UK, we are also more than capable of insane conspiracies around Covid.
“Marjorie is wrong, and her intentional decision to compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks is appalling,” House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy said in a statement, while stopping short of calling for disciplinary measures.
“The fact that this needs to be stated today is deeply troubling.”
Ms Greene, a conservative firebrand Representative from Georgia and ally of former President Donald Trump, has thrived on stirring controversy, pushing conspiracy theories and forcefully confronting her colleagues since taking her seat in the House in January.
Back in blighty there was a conspiracy theory that the Covid vaccine makes you bluetoot-enabled. Yep, you wish it was a joke.
To clear this up Full Fact tweeted: “The Covid-19 vaccines do not make you Bluetooth-enabled, as some have claimed on social media. There is nothing in the vaccine that could possibly have anything to do with Bluetooth.”
It wasn’t just Professor Cox who had something to say on this theory.
