‘Madam Speaker, You Are Not God!’ Republican Congressman Explodes On Pelosi For Mask Mandates
In response to Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s backing of a House Floor mask mandate, a group of Republicans took to the floor to express their disappointment and disgust.
One of the loudest voices was Madison Cawthorn (R-NC), who scolded the 81-year-old career politician for imposing a “medical apartheid” in the legislative chambers.
“Madam Speaker, you are not God,” Cawthorn said firmly, rebuking Pelosi. “Your will does not bend the forest or shake the mountains. Let me assure you, your will does not bow the knee of millions of my countrymen who refuse to heed your callous command. To threaten arrest on others for their own personal medical decisions is nothing short of medical apartheid. And I will not let it stand.”
Cawthorn continued on to roast Pelosi’s iron-fist control of the House Floor, questioning why the Democrat leader has the word “honorable” next to her title.
“If I am to cowardly bend the knee here, like those on the left wish, then what is to stop you all from taking your tyranny to the rest of this country that I love.”
“How dare anyone in this institution attempt to dictate to the patriots on my staff how they may live their lives.”
“For one to think that because they have the title ‘honorable’ attached to their name means that they may dictate what others may say and think repulses me. What makes this nation special is that here in this free land, the people are the royalty.”

For unknown reasons, the Senate does not have a mask mandate in place for its sessions. The decision to only target the House of Representatives was allegedly made by the Capitol physician.
“At least in the Senate, they’re recognizing individual responsibility and following science, not just using this as a political tool,” Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) told The Hill. “So, what are we doing: following the science or Pelosi’s political moves? It’s Pelosi’s political moves.”
