A Kansas newspaper whose publisher is a county Republican chairman posted a cartoon on its Facebook page likening an order from the state’s governor requiring people to wear masks in public to the round-up and murder of millions of Jews during the Holocaust.
The cartoon on the Anderson County Review’s Facebook page depicts Democratic governor Laura Kelly wearing a mask with a Jewish Star of David on it, next to people being loaded on to train cars. Its caption is: “Lockdown Laura says: Put on your mask ... and step on to the cattle car.”
The Anderson County Review
Quote:In 2020, the newspaper published to its Facebook page a cartoon criticizing Kansas's mask policy against the COVID-19 pandemic in which Democratic Governor Laura Kelly is shown against a backdrop of a Holocaust train with the caption of "Lockdown Laura says: Put on your mask ... and step onto the cattle car," seemingly implying the mask order was a prelude to ethnic cleansing. Kelly was also depicted with a prominent Star of David. The Review and its owner Dane Hicks were criticized for the cartoon by Kelly as well as others for being anti-Semitic and trivializing the Holocaust.[2] Hicks refused to back down or apologize, saying that there was nobody to apologize to and that "Facebook is a cesspool".[2]
