(Jewish Group) NYC Council member apologizes for comparing vaccine mandates to Nazism

Vickie Paladino, a first-term New York City Council member, has apologized for comparing COVID vaccine requirements to Nazi Germany.

The Queens Republican faced a backlash after NY1 published an interview with her Monday.

“I don’t need to show you my papers,” Paladino told the news channel. “This is not Nazi Germany.”

Paladino gave the interview days after being barred from the council chambers because she refused to disclose whether she is vaccinated. All city employees are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, a mandate Paladino opposes.
