Schneider Again Drafting Resolution to Censure Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

September 3, 2022

WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) released the following statement following Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's recent comments and social media posts correlating President Joe Biden to Adolf Hitler:

"I called out Rep. Greene in 2021 when she debased the memory of all those murdered in the Holocaust, and the heroic men and women who fought and died defending democracy against Hitler and his evil. Shortly afterwards, she apologized and said she understood the harm of false comparisons to the singular evil of the Nazis.

"Clearly, she has not learned, or worse perhaps she doesn't care. She continues to dismiss the horrors of the Holocaust and use vile comparisons to incite her fans and divide our nation. Her hateful rhetoric has no place in our politics and certainly not in the chambers of Congress. She owes the American people, the survivors and families of those persecuted by the Nazis, and every family of what is still the "Greatest Generation" an immediate apology.

"Having demonstrated that her apology in June 2021 was insincere and that she remains devoted to sullying the reputation of the House of Representatives, I call on my colleagues, on both sides of the aisle, to condemn her loathsome rhetoric. I plan to again draft a resolution to censure her for these contemptible behaviors which I will introduce in the coming weeks."
