A board member of the Republican Party of Wabasha County, Minn., resigned Tuesday after backlash over a Facebook post that compared mandatory coronavirus mask mandates to Nazis in the Holocaust.
Minnesota GOP Chairwoman Jennifer Carnahan initially said that the Facebook group had been hacked before backtracking Tuesday.
We are saddened by the vitriolic post and hope as we move forward that Republicans and Democrats alike will maintain the highest level of integrity, respect, and sensitivity, Carnahan said in a statement. The Wabasha County Board and MN GOP apologizes for this disappointing post.
The board member has not been publicly identified.

Fired him.

Then, when that turns out to be a lie piled on their bigotry, it's soft-peddled as "disappointing," and no, you can't know which of us did it. We may be racist, but we're no snitches!
