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 also 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 while at the Conservative Political Action Conference's (CPAC) Dallas event this weekend.
"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."

Biden on Tuesday called on local communities to ramp up the pace of coronavirus vaccinations, explaining, " we need to go to community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and oftentimes, door to door — literally knocking on doors — to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus."
While White House press secretary Jen Psaki clarified this week that they were encouraging volunteers at the local level, rather than federal employees, to go door-to-door promoting vaccines, Republican leaders in several states have pushed back on the suggestion.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) wrote in a letter to the state's Board of Health and Environmental Control on Friday requesting that it "issue direction to agency leadership and to state and local healthcare organizations prohibiting the use of the Biden Administration's 'targeted' 'door to door' tactics in the State's ongoing vaccination efforts."
The governor argued in the letter that "enticing, coercing, intimidating, mandating, or pressuring" citizens to get vaccinated would undermine trust in the government.
Jeff Zients , White House coronavirus response coordinator, on Thursday condemned misinformation on the administration’s vaccine distribution effort, calling it a “disservice to the country and to the doctors, the faith leaders, community leaders, and others who are working to get people vaccinated, save lives, and help end this pandemic."

I had to post the Biden quote. Psaki is clarifying again and the Conservative Political Action Conference has begun. A minor issue to begin the discussion. There is a lot that "We the People" are against. We need to hear from those willing to fight and what they intend to do about it!
Busy progressive beavers keep gnawing at the tree of liberty and freedom, trying to topple it.
Words like 'confiscation' and 'registration' are bandied about in San Jose.
That is why we need to hear from Republicans this weekend. The key question being what are we going to do about it?
'Republicans' like that a-dolt in the room Madison Cawthorn?
"Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye Liz Cheney."
The usual stuff, a lot of the foot stomping and the frothing of key words and phrases that we are inundated with daily ... anything and everything to raise the level of fake fear in the herd.
It’s gonna be the same shit you always here and the same actions, trying to pimp that merch and those books! You do realize what these events are right? They are home and garden shows, people just after your wallet.
I have a no trespassing sign on the edge of my property and any that show up with a clipboard in hand insisting on "interviewing" me arrested if the step onto my property. I live in small town rural Arizona on the border Where things like that are frowned upon anyway. If they insist in asking me about firearms, I will simply tell them to come back with a warrant. I bet they would not be willing to take it that far and disappear rather quickly. Besides, I have already had my two Moderna Covid vaccinations anyway, but that's nobody's business but my own.
Oh the HORROR. Biden wants to "get help to the remaining people protected from the virus."
So let's hear it Vic?
WTF are YOU 'fighting'?
WTF are YOU doing about it?
Never seen people so upset about a vaccine that could save lives...
Unbelievable.
Complaining on the internet?
I read as far as this and couldn't read any farther because I was laughing so hard...
If Americans are so gullible and naive that they would take that seriously, I really feel sorry for your country.
The old standby for dummies, ''take your guns and bibles''...
apparently somebody already confiscated any logic, reason, and common sense they had possessed...
Do people really believe this type of shit anymore?
(Why does the "guns and bibles" club in America resemble the Taliban?)
Cawthorn is one of the bigger idiots elected to congress.
Think about the massive undertaking!!!
Oh no, like the census?
I can't believe right wingers eat this shit up.
I had a feeling when I clicked on this that I was going to see something retarded. I wasn't wrong.
This grifter is one of those guys where every time their mouth opens you know a steaming, smelly pile of retard is about to fall out. Never has anything useful or valuable to say and listening to his words actively damages your brain.
When I read that I had a flash back to my childhood and the Wanzer milk man delivering milk 'door-to-door' and knocking on our back door to collect his monthly payments.
Then I flashed to my Jehovah Witness neighbors in the 90's, knocking on our door EVERY WEEK to hand us a copy of the Watchtower and ask us if we'd been saved for the hundredth time.
Hell, kids trick or treating in communities all over the country manage to figure it out without anyone claiming that they violated their civil rights.
And the more adventurous kids went to more than one neighborhood. Gasp!
Well then I guess we should stop doing the census huh? Fucking dumbass.
The funny part is, rightwingers take this bs seriously.
It is sad and dangerous. These people vote. These people are ultimately the reason Trump was elected and why we continue to see support of Trump by the R party. The R party continues its support of Trump because they perceive their constituents support Trump and fear losing reelection if they do not go through the motions and appear to support Trump.
lemmings...
SMH....
Stop them, those commie kids are about to steal her bible. Put in 911 call to Fox News.
