(Jewish Group) Josh Mandel, Ohio Senate candidate, compares Biden's vaccine mandate to the Gestapo

[Behind the Aegis]

The latest politician to compare government vaccination efforts to Nazi Germany is Josh Mandel, a Jewish Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Ohio.

In a video Thursday protesting President Joe Biden’s upcoming requirement that a large portion of private sector employees either get vaccinated against COVID or get tested weekly, Mandel instructed his social media viewers not to comply with the requirement. In doing so, he compared Biden to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police force that played a major role in carrying out the Holocaust.

“I call on my fellow Americans: Do not comply,” he said. “Do not comply with the tyranny, and when the Gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do.”

Mandel is among the latest in a lengthening list of public figures, including Republican lawmakers, who have compared vaccine mandates and other public health regulations to the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. Holocaust scholars are united in categorically opposing such statements, explaining that there’s no comparison between public health measures and the genocide of six million Jews.

At least this one is a Jew, as opposed to all the other assholes cultural appropriating the Holocaust for their stupid rallying cry. But, still a gaping asshole, nonetheless!

The Anti-Defamation League is calling on a Republican Senate candidate to apologize for invoking the Nazis in decrying new vaccine mandates.

After President Joe Biden announced those new planned requirements for businesses, Josh Mandel responded by telling people they should not “comply with the tyranny.”

He even said, “When the Gestapo show up at your front door, you know what to do.”

The ADL reacted with disgust to Mandel’s commentary and said, “Being asked to wear a mask or take an FDA-approved vaccine is not equivalent to the actions of the Gestapo in Nazi-era Germany or the systemic annihilation of an entire group of people. These comparisons are beyond the pale and need to stop.”
