GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn (N.C.) on Friday argued against President Biden’s proposed "door-to-door" pro-COVID-19 vaccine campaign, claiming the same methods could be used to “take” people's guns and Bibles.

Cawthorn made the assertion in a Friday interview with conservative news outlet Right Side Broadcasting Network at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas.

“Now, they’re starting to talk about going door to door to be able to take vaccines to the people,” he said, referencing remarks Biden gave from the White House this week.


“Think about the mechanisms they would have to build to be able to actually execute that massive of a thing,” Cawthorn continued. “And then think about what those mechanisms could be used for. They could then go door to door and take your guns. They could go door to door and take your Bibles.”

LMAO.
What an idiot.
But you know many of those ignorant trump supporters will eat this up as truth.

[Joe Republic]

You mean to tell me that the owners of guns and bibles might often be the paranoid, victim-complex type?

[Fight for Trump]

I don't even know where my Bible is.

[Joe Republic]

I don't even know where my Bible is.

Mine is still in the same place I left it:  1996 or thereabouts

[Hammy]

At what point do we finally admit this is a mental illness when you have imagined enemies everywhere coming to take whatever you hold dear, just because some talking head on tv says so?

[President Johnson]

Of course it's easier to ramble about such obvious nonsense and baseless fearmonger than to focus on actual policy. He knows that most of Joe Biden's policies are popular and would improve people's lives and that there's hardly a rational reason to oppose them or at least get in serious negotiations for compromises.

[Inmate Trump]

I’m a Christian and gun carrying American and I’m not worried whatsoever.

I think the door-to-door vaccine push is a good idea.


These MAGA type morons

[Jackson Lee]

Good Lord.

What an idiot.

[Torie]

Dan and I are both vaccinated, don't have guns, and I have yet to see a Bible, although maybe there is one in a box somewhere. So I think we are safe, provided they don't get into the frig to find the THC edibles.

I am a bit surprised about Cawthorn though seguing this far towards the MTG box. I did not know he had that much of the paranoid demagogue gene in him.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I doubt this is just simple BS or idiocy.

He's probably trying to get some vaccine canvassers killed.

[Crumpets]

Some people have really never read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," have they?

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

Remember, he’s centering his team on comms, not legislation.

Really?!

[Ancestral Republican]

Conservatives threatening us with a good time once again.

[Progressive Pessimist]

And with this statement Cawthorn just won right wing BINGO! Actually he probably didn't. I wouldn't put it past him to lie and exaggerate about that. He's millennial Trump.

soooo, when are you having me over for dinner?

This is not a mental illness. It's the human default. Media literacy comes only with experience and education.

Seeing enemies who want to take everything from you, against literally all logic, is not the "human default". It is borderline schizoid and often leads to dangerous behavior.

Sounds like you’re living the good life

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

People like Cawthorn don't need to be genepool paranoid demagogues to play them in real life.

These people who think the government is gonna take everything from them and are constantly in fear of the government are the same people who complain about other people living in fear

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Without a doubt, the dumbest freshman member of congress.

[Indy Texas]

At this point, I'm against any kind of door-to-door vaccine outreach simply because I'm worried it will put the workers at risk of being shot by a deranged anti-vaxxer.

There was US census worker murdered by a deranged anti government lunatic in Kentucky when the 2010 census was doing it's door to door counting. Going door to door as a government worker can really bring out the worst in some conservatives.
