(Jewish Group) Kansas newspaper removes cartoon likening mask requirement to the Holocaust
A weekly newspaper in Kansas has removed a political cartoon comparing Gov. Laura Kelly’s order requiring state residents to wear masks to the Nazis ordering Jews to board cattle cars taking them to death camps.
The Republican Party county chairman who owns the Anderson County Review said he created the cartoon, which was posted on the newspaper’s Facebook page Friday, the day that Kelly’s order requiring face masks in public places went into effect.
The cartoon showed the Democratic governor wearing a mask with a Star of David emblazoned on it, and shows Jews getting into cattle cars in the background. “Lockdown Laura says: Put on your mask… and step into the cattle car,” the caption reads.
The cartoon quickly drew criticism, including from Kelly herself. “Mr. Hicks’s decision to publish anti-Semitic imagery is deeply offensive and he should remove it immediately,” the governor said in a statement.

Don't people even think before they print such horrendous things? When did wearing a mask to go shopping at Wal-Mart turn into an act of oppression equivalent to concentration camps? WTF is wrong with people?
