Congress intern resigns after boss Thomas Massie compares COVID laws with the Holocaust

Last updated Oct 1, 2022

Republicans just can’t stop themselves from talking about Nazi Germany while talking about COVID-19 restrictions. Marjorie Taylor Greene has, of course, done it multiple times.

But Taylor-Greene got away with what she did. Kevin McCarthy reprimanded her, she went to a Holocaust museum, but in the end she had no consequences for her actions.

So, Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie decided that if he chose to do the same, it wouldn’t be a problem. However, when one of the Congressman’s interns resigned, at least one person admitted the problem.

In the post that has since been deleted, Massie wrote: If you need to carry a card with you to gain access to a restaurant, venue or event in your own country … this is no longer a free country. “

Andrew Zirkle, Massie’s intern, tweeted, “Me Exit. I wanted to let everyone who knew me know that as soon as I started work this morning, I resigned from the office of Congressman Thomas Massie for comparing the horrors of the Holocaust to vaccination records. “

The college student continued: “Everyone has personal limits on what is unbearable, and that is mine. I hope to take the experience I have gained at DC with me and to face the next challenge strengthened. “

While it’s depressing that the Republican leadership doesn’t feel the need to monitor its members, at least one young Republican is ready to take a stand.
