The Spin

Left narrative

Davidson is not the first GOP member to outrageously conflate COVID mandates with the Holocaust. His shameful rhetoric perpetuates antisemitism and downplays the true scope of Nazi atrocities.

Right narrative

Davidson promptly issued a sincere apology to the Jewish community and agrees that this comparison was absolutely wrong. Dehumanization caused by mandates is a topic on his mind.
