A GOP leader from Oklahoma doubled down on his comparison between vaccine mandates and gold stars forcibly worn by Jewish people during the Holocaust.
John Bennett, the chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party, made the shocking comparison last Friday, posting a picture of the yellow Star of David with “Unvaccinated” written across the top.
“Those who don’t KNOW history, are DOOMED to repeat it,” the photo read, which was posted to the official Facebook account of the Oklahoma Republican Party on Friday.
The post called on Oklahoma Lt. Gov. Matt Pinnell to call a special session to prohibit private employers from imposing vaccine mandates for employees.
GOP national committeeman Steve Curry told the local news outlet KOCO-TV that Bennett is the only person who has access to the Facebook page.
“We three members find that this post is not only absurd in its attempt to compare the government act to control the pandemic with the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany but also terribly disrespectful to the memories of those who lost their lives to that horrible purge,” the statement said.
They weren’t gold stars, they were yellow. Other “enemies of the state” wore six pointed stars of other colors on their left breasts and sleeves until they could be rounded up for incarceration, slavery and death at the hands of the National Socialist (Nazi) party.
