WASHINGTON — Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, on Wednesday compared Covid vaccine mandates to the Holocaust, a statement that was met with swift backlash from Jewish groups.

Davidson made the comparison by retweeting a post from Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser about a new vaccine policy and sharing the photo of a health pass that people were required to carry under the Nazi regime.

Bowser’s tweet was a reminder that starting Saturday, people over the age of 12 will need to present proof of at least one Covid vaccine dose in order to enter indoor food and drink establishments in D.C. such as restaurants, nightclubs, taverns, coffee shops and food halls.

Davidson, who was elected in 2016 to his seat previously held by former House Speaker John Boehner, wrote of the Nazi document, “This has been done before. #DoNotComply.”

1. Davidson

Davidson is just showing us a sample document from his cherished Nazi memorabilia collection.

[Deuxcents]

2. These kind of comments

Keep coming from morons n they keep getting shot down. Will they ever learn?

[thesquanderer]

9. My guess is, they don't care about the blowback, because their base likes it. (n/t)

[Grokenstein]

18. Maybe they CAN'T learn.

Maybe they just think their cultists can't.
Either way it explains why they loathe education.

3. How is this so freaking hard for these freaking morons?

My god, even if you don't want vaccine mandates, comparing them to the holocaust is the fucking dumbest and most insensitive thing you can say.

[Stuart G]

20. You said it, plain and simple: "...these freaking morons". That is it, and that is ..ALL OF IT!!!!!

Yes, it really is that simple...

[LymphocyteLover]

21. LOL, yes!

[AllaN01Bear]

4. o shut up will u man.

[OhZone]

5. What Rep. Davidson is doing is frankly closer to cauing an extermination of his own people! Geez.

[kimbutgar]

6. Someone should take him to the Holocaust museum in DC and see then if he still needs getting

Vaccines is the same thing!

I would be embarrassed to have someone like that represent me in Congress. Voters in November need to vote that idiot out !

[monkeyman1]

22. won't do any good ! just like TFG - to stupid !

[kimbutgar]

24. Sadly

[atreides1]

26. About those voters...

My guess is that they don't really care...and I would venture to say that many of them agree with this asshat!!

The problem really isn't the the idiots and clowns that get elected...the problem is the idiots and clowns who keep voting for them!

[IronLionZion]

8. Privileged assholes believe mild inconvenience is oppression

As if people of all demographics who took a free vaccine are now the master race

[AZLD4Candidate]

10. I compare border patrol checkpoints to Nazi checkpoints because they are similar.

One, the person had to prove they were pure Germans and produce papers since the suspicion was that everyone was "untermench"

The other, the person has to prove they are American citizens since the suspicion is that everyone is an undocumented person

That's more of a complete comparison than vaccine mandates are to government run death squads and camps

BTW, I'm Jewish and this use of Nazism like this is repulsive.

[peppertree]

11. This, from a party full of people who think the Holocaust was a good thing

I swear, the few times I've ever heard the Holocaust come up in conversation - there's almost always some Republican with a justification at the ready.

Usually comes down to "Hitler had to defend his country" - or some such monstrosity.

[George II]

12. That clown should have grown up where I did, Brooklyn NY, in the late 40s and 50s. For one thing....

...in order to go to public school it was required that we all have a series of vaccinations - smallpox, polio (and boosters), and optionally measles and mumps, although those last two weren't readily available yet. All of us growing up back then had a circular scar on our arms, which was left after getting the smallpox vaccine.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we had an influx of immigrants who SURVIVED the Holocaust! Many European Jews emigrated to Brooklyn, adults and children, after they were rescued from the German concentration camps. It was not uncommon to see people in stores and on the street with numbers tattooed on their arms.

As someone here suggested, he should be FORCED to visit the Holocaust Museum to see what the the Holocaust was all about. It certainly wasn't even close to getting a freaking vaccine, dammit!!

I hate shit like this.

17. Years ago we had a G.I. from WW II in a neighborhood where..

... I had some friends he was in N Africa, Europe, and was in when they liberated one of the camps according to his wife he was still OK until he got to one of the concentration camps and after that he was gone mentally. He just sat on his porch and smoked cigarettes and never really spoke. This was 30 + years later.

What is the matter with some people?

[Shermann]

13. It's a reverse Holocaust

The unvaccinated, truly free from tyranny, are the ones wasting away and dying.

[Biophilic]

14. I am so friggin tired of idiots making these kinds of comparisons.

I'm not Jewish, my family didn't lose anyone related in the Holocaust but I am still totally, totally repulsed by these slimes and their comparisons. It is just plain WRONG and, I think, actually evil.

[Red Pest]

15. Virtually all of the members of my family who stayed in Europe were murdered in the Holocaust.

This includes family on the sides of both my parents and of my wife. My FIL helped to liberate Dachau. So, if we are doing comparisons: the European members of our families were killed by the disease. The members of the US Army were the antibodies and the killer T-cells induced by the vaccine. We who remember what happened and who educate subsequent generations as to the nature of this disease (anti-semitism, bigotry, racism, etc.) are the memory T-cells and memory B-cells.

Those who present false comparisons and lie about the nature of the disease are a combination of immuno-suppressive agents and new variants of the hate virus.

However, we could just say that people like Rep. Davidson are just hate-filled shmucks.

16. When you break out the holocaust comparisons, you get no sympathy from me.

So fuck off, Davidson.

[Stuart G]

19. Thank You for posting...K and R. This is how someone proves that he is stupider than Donald Trump.

Hard to prove someone is stupider than Trump, but this fellow just proved, it beyond doubt.

Yes, this is the stupidest comment in this month even compared to many stupid ones that Trump has made..
...I didn't think that anyone was stupider than Trump, but this fellow is it. ....All of it...

the cake: ....

[monkeyman1]

23. wish he would have said that shit to a ww11 vet ?

25. Fallacy of the Undivided Middle

Sample:

All cows are brown.
My dog is brown.
Therefore my dog is a cow.

Nazis required documentation.
D.C.'s lawmakers require documentation.
Therefore DC lawmakers are Nazis.
