Politician apologizes for Holocaust remark

A top Massachusetts legislative official has apologized for likening proposed identification badges for lobbyists to Jews’ concentration camp tattoos.

“The idea of the badge by lobbyists to me, I kind of find that revolting,” Rep. John Binienda, D-Worcester, the chairman of the House Rules Committee said Thursday.

Of the Republican proposal, he said, “Hitler during the concentration camps tattooed all of the Jewish people so he would know who was Jew and who wasn’t, and that’s something that I just don’t go along with,” The Boston Globe reported.
