Michigan GOP under fire for tying gun reform to Holocaust in tweet.
TL;DR Summary
The Michigan GOP faced backlash for using imagery from the Holocaust to argue against Democrats' restrictive gun proposals. The party used a photograph of wedding rings taken from Holocaust victims with text over it that reads, "Before they collected all these wedding rings…they collected all the guns." The post was criticized by other Republicans and the Anti-Defamation League. Michigan Democrats are pushing an 11-bill gun measure package to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in response to the mass shooting at Michigan State University last month.
