Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson apologized on Thursday for comparing Washington, DC's Covid-19 safety protocols to Nazi Germany.
"Bad things happen when governments dehumanize people," said Davidson in a tweet."Sometimes, there is a next step—to systematically segregate them. Unfortunately, any reference to how the Nazis actually did that prevents a focus on anything other than the Holocaust.""I appreciate my Jewish friends who have explained their perspectives and feel horrible that I have offended anyone," he added."My sincere apologies.
The Anti-Defamation League said,"It's never appropriate to compare requirements for public health with the tactics of Nazi Germany. As we've said too many times to count, minimizing the Holocaust in this way is deeply offensive and harmful."Democratic Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota, who is Jewish, told CNN's Jake Tapper on Wednesday that he confronted Davidson about the tweet.
