Washington (CNN) Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Tuesday compared officials carrying out President Joe Biden's latest Covid-19 vaccination push to Nazi-era "brown shirts," just weeks after apologizing for her comments comparing Capitol Hill mask-wearing rules to the Holocaust. Responding to remarks from Biden about mobilizing officials to reach unvaccinated individuals at their homes, Greene tweeted , "People have a choice, they don't need your medical brown shirts showing up at their door ordering vaccinations. The term "brown shirts" refers to the paramilitary group that helped facilitate Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s and '40s. The group bears no resemblance to Biden's plan for targeted outreach to unvaccinated communities in the face of rising concern about the Delta variant. Asked about Greene's tweet by CNN's John Berman on "New Day," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the White House does not take medical advice from Greene.
