Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has apologised for recent comments in which she compared the required wearing of safety masks in the US House of Representatives to the horrors of the Holocaust.

“I’m truly sorry for offending people with remarks about the Holocaust,” the Georgia Republican told reporters outside the Capitol, saying she had visited Washington’s US Holocaust Memorial Museum earlier in the day.
