Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) on Tuesday likened President Joe Biden’s recently announced COVID-19 vaccine mandates to “modern-day segregation,” saying that they should be “rescinded” as they infringe upon the personal liberties of Americans.
During an appearance on Newsmax, the Republican lawmaker was pressed by host Chris Salcedo about a viral video that showed a scuffle between a hostess at a New York City restaurant and three tourists, who are black, over a vaccine requirement.
Individuals dining indoors in the city are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.
According to attorney Justin Moore, who represents one of the three women charged in the incident, a fight ensued when two men who arrived at the Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side to meet the women were unable to show that they had been vaccinated.
The women later alleged that the hostess made a racist a remark. The restaurant has denied the allegation and said in a statement to several media outlets that the incident was “an entirely unprovoked, brutal attack.”
“I can’t believe I’m actually agreeing with them, but this is weaponized mandates, when no American, regardless of skin color, should be giving up their personal liberty so easily,” Cawthorn said, responding to a question from Salcedo about segregation. “Right now, what you’re seeing is, you’re seeing this medical apartheid, which is causing modern-day segregation.”
“Every single minority activist should be up in arms right now, saying, ‘You are hurting the people who need help the very most with this actual mandate.’ It should be rescinded, and we should never be a country that forces mandates down the throats of Americans,” he added.
Cawthorn’s comments come nearly two weeks after Biden issued several executive orders to require that all federal employees and the majority of health care workers get a COVID-19 vaccine.
A White House plan also stated that Biden would direct the Labor Department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration to mandate that businesses with 100 or more employees either mandate COVID-19 vaccines, require weekly COVID-19 testing, or be fined.
At least 27 Republican governors or attorneys general have vowed to fight the mandates.
On Sept. 12, Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson said that he believes the vaccine requirement “hardens the resistance” some people may have to getting inoculated.
The Republican governor told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he believes the new rules will hurt efforts to vaccinate Americans, instead of supporting them. The federal requirements are “counterproductive,” he said.
“We talked about the fact that we’ve historically had vaccination requirements in schools,” the governor said. “But those have always come at the state level, never at the national level.
“And so this is an unprecedented assumption of federal mandate authority that really disrupts and divides the country. It divides our partnership between the federal government and the states. And it increases the division in terms of vaccination when we should all be together trying to increase the vaccination uptake.”
The president earlier said the mandate is about “protecting yourself and those around you—the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love.”
Welcome to Jim CROVID!
If Cawthorn is not controlled opposition it will be somewhat of a relief.
Just as I suspected...
yep...lol
White leftists do it again...keepiing blacks out of businesses and restaurants.
The vaccine mandates are far closer to Jim Crow than any voter ID law. Funny how the left treats showing ID to vote as a horrific burden, but having something injected into your body AND showing ID to enter a restaurant is as easy as A-B-C.
ps these black people were from Texas, but I’m sure its the same for Houston.
Modern day constitution violation.
Dershowitz was on Yesterday saying basically that the mandates ‘might be constitutional because ‘it involves an infectious disease- which can be deadly’
so apparently, according to him, presidents can now mandate vaccines for colds and flues because ‘they are infectious’ and cause death, but by golly you can’t regulate people with his or aids because that would be a violation.
Can you imagine the uproar if employers demanded their employees with aids of his get vaccinated or be terminated fro employment?

BINGO. Denying people basic access to restaurants, doctors (hearing some physicians won’t see you unless you’re fully vaxxed), and other businesses, when a disproportionate number of blacks are not fully vaxxed is a slick segregation.
Yet not a peep from so called black leaders, yet Voter ID is the worst thing ever right?
While the unvaxxed contains a large number of black people, I see this innovative use of DR3 being about as effective as all of the previous versions have been.
Someone needs to create an iconic meme of two water fountains, a note on one, “vaccinated only” and the other, “unvaccinated only”
Jim Crovid - that’s a good one, I’ll definitely be using it.
Ping.
It should be referred to as the Fauci/China virus.
He was the one who funded the researched that led to the development of the virus.
He thought it was worth the risk to fund Communist Chinese bioweapons.
Using AIDS is a really bad analogy. You don’t catch AIDS by breathing virus laden air.
Epoch Times is one of the few news sources to consistently call it “CCP Virus”.
I’m grateful for that half a loaf.
Any word from the blacks in NYC? I haven’t heard a peep, so I guess they don’t care.
They spread it through contact, sexual, so an employer could state that he can’t take the risk that employees of his would have sex, get aids, and sue his company for not warning them that one of his employees had aids, therefore mandate that everyone be vaxxed (if there were a vax). The left would throw a fit if that were to happen was the point. But the .eft demand that everyone be vaxxed for covid- what next? Flu? Colds?
My biggest concern is over the attack on what many consider constitutional rights.
We are all talking about freedom of movement, segregation, but what really terrifies me, is the abridging of Constitution rights under the illusion of dealing with a public health crisis.
Please remember for a moment that the Gun Control movement wants to treat firearms and firearm violence as a public health crisis. If you think that they are not taking note on how to ban both individuals, business activity, and peoples individual freedoms all in the name of a greater governmental public good to control a “public health crisis,” you are not paying attention.
If “government” can create a situation where you will loose you job, if you don’t do as they say, then they can equally mandate that you must take tests and turn in your firearms if you are to work for any branch of government, for any firm that receives government money, or work for an employer of over 100 employees.
This country is at a tipping point for constitutional rights.
[[the abridging of Constitution rights under the illusion of dealing with a public health crisis.]]
Not just that- but also defining what constitutes ‘Dangerous misinformation’, and shutting down any discussion whatsoever when people don’t adopt the liberal agenda- They just tackled a black republican candidate because he tried to get in to a town meeting to discuss covid- they didn’t like what he was saying- and claimed he was spewing ‘dangerous misinformation’, and forced him out of the building-
[[Please remember for a moment that the Gun Control movement wants to treat firearms and firearm violence as a public health crisis.]]
Absolutely- they are demanding that biden issue a national ‘health crisis’ over guns-
[[This country is at a tipping point for constitutional rights.]]
Again, absolutely-
