GOP Lawmaker Tells Jewish People To 'Learn Your History' After Comparing Vaccines To Holocaust

@AZKellyT should delete this outrageous and offensive tweet. There is never a valid time to share this flag which represents oppression and genocide for so many. Comparing health mandates to Nazism is highly insensitive and escalates tensions around efforts to fight #COVID19.pic.twitter.com/R3MJpBavib

Learn your history.

There is no place for Nazi imagery in regards to issues of vaccination. Period. \n\nThis is shameful, offensive and insensitive. Do better, @AZKellyThttps://twitter.com/AZKellyT/status/1437200407353184256\u00a0\u2026

Here is an early propaganda piece re justification of forced medical procedures for greater good. Today- how much are the 'unvaccinated' costing society? My vaccine swastika evoked anger, but Nazi atrocities began with similar propaganda. Learn history or you end up repeating it.pic.twitter.com/HntJIYWO4I

Kelly Townsend\u2019s combination of moral bankruptcy and rank stupidity is one toxic stew. Imagine telling the ADL to \u201clearn [its] history? https://twitter.com/jeremyduda/status/1437571412890324996\u00a0\u2026

"Learn your history," Townsend tells the Anti-Defamation League because obviously Townsend (who is not Jewish) knows more about Jewish history & Nazi Germany than anyone else. #godcomplexhttps://www.azmirror.com/2021/09/13/kelly-townsend-gop-senator-likened-covid-vaccines-to-the-holocaust-tweeted-a-swastika-and-told-a-jewish-group-who-complained-to-learn-your-history/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=3ee1411b-3737-48d3-b46d-39717e7260f1\u00a0\u2026

Do u understand the difference between being born with a hereditary disease and choosing to not get a free vaccine

Please educate us. I must\u2019ve missed the Bill proposing that the unvaccinated be gassed to death. When\u2019s the vote?\n\n\u2026or could it be that you\u2019re making this disgusting comparison simply to rile up your base & score some votes?

Kelly you tolerate violence against marginalized groups far too often to pretend to be upset that someone is facing consequences for choosing to be inconsiderate of others.

Vaccines are 96% effective at saving lives and preventing death. The NAZIs were 99% effective at ending jewish lives and spreading genocide across Europe.
