What would it take for Republicans to walk away from Marjorie Taylor Greene?

In an interview last week with the Christian Broadcasting Network, Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had this to say about the ongoing mask mandate in Congress:

"You know, we can look back at a time in history where people were told to wear a gold star, and they were definitely treated like second class citizens, so much so that they were put in trains and taken to gas chambers in Nazi Germany. And this is exactly the type of abuse that Nancy Pelosi is talking about."

Yes, Greene compared Speaker Nancy Pelosi's continued insistence that House members wear masks on the floor -- as a means of preventing the spread of Covid-19 -- to the systematic murder of 6 million Jews at the direction of Adolf Hitler.

To which Republican congressional leaders responded with, well, nothing actually.
