Kansas governor calls on GOP county chair to remove cartoon comparing mask order to Holocaust

[RandySF]

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) is calling on a Republican state official to remove a cartoon from his newspaper's Facebook page that compares her recent order requiring face masks in public to the Holocaust.

The cartoon was published on Friday on the Facebook page of the Anderson County Review, a newspaper owned by Anderson County Republican Party Chairman Dane Hicks. The cartoon features a woman wearing a mask with a Star of David attached to it in front of a line of people entering a cattle car.

“Lockdown Laura says: Put on your mask … and step onto the cattle car,” the caption reads.

Kelly, whose executive order requiring face masks went into effect on Friday, said in a statement to The Associated Press that Hicks's decision to "publish anti-Semitic imagery is deeply offensive and he should remove it immediately."

1. So being exterminated in a gas chamber, starved to death and experimented on is similar to

Wearing a mask?

3. No No No

This is fucking trivializing the Holocaust - these despicable people are true deplorables

6. I could only take one room at the Holocaust museum in DC before I left in tears

They should put these a holes in that museum and make them spend the night there and then I dare then to use that appalling comparison.

8. These are the same fools who talk about happy slaves singing

in their fucking fields - racist monsters justifying evil - who the fuck compares wearing a mask with the Holocaust.

2. That is fucked up.

Some people will do or say anything for their leader. Disgusting!

5. Well about time . .

The amount of insane shit that comes out of republicans mouths and writings I use to say was ludicrous but alas nothing surprises me now. They are undeniable disconnected with life itself.
