GOP stooge, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, has a really nasty habit of comparing pretty much anything and everything she doesn’t like to the Holocaust, Nazi Germany, and Adolf Hitler. The problem here (outside of the obvious fact that comparisons like this are absolutely disgusting and tone-deaf, at the very least, and erase the severity of an astoundingly heinous, massive, life-altering historical event) is the fact that ole Marje relies so heavily on these fear-mongering comparison tactics when she doesn’t actually even know what in the Hell she’s talking about.
And I don’t just mean that she’s ignorantly unaware of the actual historical facts or the significant trauma that these events had on real-life people, still to this day (though, she’s definitely that too.) I mean, literally, Marjorie has absolutely no clue regarding the verbal diarrhea that regularly comes out of her mouth. To the point that she doesn’t seem to know or understand the difference between a popular Spanish cold and the Nazi secret police.
Yesterday, the Republican party’s biggest national embarrassment just under Donald Trump himself sat down for a podcast appearance on Real America with Dan Ball where she quickly started in on one of her trademarked rants against the Capitol police. But this time, to make a bad situation all the worse, Marjorie’s word choice during the rant was… questionable at best.
“ot only do we have the D.C. Jail, which is the D.C. Gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi’s Gazpacho Police, spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff, and spying on American citizens that want to come talk to their representatives. This government has turned into something it was never meant to be, and it’s time to make it end,” Greene fumed in the absolutely unhinged way we’ve become accustomed to with this batshit crazy woman.
It seems the manic GOP congresswoman was attempting to compare the Capitol police to the Gestapo, the Nazi secret police. But, as the Republican Accountability Project quickly pointed out on Twitter with a clip of the interview, Greene didn’t seem to know or understand that the word she was looking for was actually “Gestapo,” not “Gazpacho” — which is a traditional Spanish soup made of blended raw vegetables that’s typically served cold.
Just to clear things up, @RepMTG

Believe me when I tell you that it is a massive understatement to say that Twitter absolutely destroyed Greene over this one:
I join her in her fight against both the Gazpacho police and their collaborationist allies in the Vichyssoise https://t.co/GPUlj5lTFY

Dear @RepMTG the Gazpacho police was created by me in 1993 to make sure that no one will add Tabasco or jalalpeño or strange things to my beloved soup! Please don’t blame anybody else but me…stop by for a glass anytime. Don’t forget your mask and vaccination card!😜 https://t.co/srhSZXWv6L

Frankly, I can’t seem to wrap my head around what it is with Republicans and soup — this is every bit as bad as Donald Trump’s “soup for my family” ordeal.
Long story short, Marje, if you’re going to make disgustingly heinous Nazi/Holocaust references and comparisons, at least know the difference between a horrifying Nazi secret police force and a bowl of cold soup.
