Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene was roundly condemned for drawing parallels between mask mandates in the House of Representatives to the persecution of Jews by Nazi Germany.

She doubled and tripled down on the ludicrous comparison, and even some other Republicans criticized her over it.

Weeks later, Greene has now finally apologized, after visiting the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC.

“I have made a mistake and it’s really bothered me for a couple of weeks now, and so I definitely want to own it,” she said.

In brief remarks to reporters after visiting the museum, Greene said “there’s nothing comparable” to the Holocaust.

“There are words that I have said and remarks that I’ve made I know are offensive, and for that I want to apologize,” Greene added.
