Minnesota Republican county official resigns after posting image comparing mask wearing to Nazi Germany

(CNN)A Minnesota Republican Party county official has resigned after posting an image on Facebook comparing mask mandates to Jews being forced to wear Stars of David in Nazi Germany, the state party said on Tuesday.

Minnesota Republican Party Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan confirmed the official's resignation in a statement on Tuesday. Earlier, she had repeated a lower ranking official's assertion that the Wabasha County Republican Party's Facebook page had been hacked -- an assertion that she retracted on Tuesday evening.


"The Republican Party of Minnesota has learned the Wabasha County Facebook page was not hacked last night, as believed by the Wabasha County Chair," Carnahan said in a statement Tuesday. "The offensive picture was unfortunately posted by a board member who has resigned effective immediately at the party's request."

She added that the state party as well as the county board "apologizes for this disappointing post," which she also called "vitriolic."

1. History . . .

have these republican politicians ever read the history of Nazism? Or do they agree with it's concept. A sane person would never compare masks to Nazism.

2. I have difficulty finding any sanity in the republican party. Any at all.

3. They get it, they are just not happy abou it.

They've been told for years by Fox and others that their way, the selfish way, is the only way. Now reality is shoving a size ten boot right up their asses, and they are not happy. If I were a cruel sob I'd say fuck em, let em die of the plague and good riddance. That, however is wrong. They will take far too many innocents with them. Fox has done a horrible disservice to this nation, and they are going to have to be held accountable sooner or later.
