GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert calls Biden's door-to-door vaccinators 'needle Nazis'

GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert on Thursday called medical professionals conducting door-to-door vaccination efforts "needle Nazis," marking the second time in one week that a Republican member of Congress has likened the Biden administration's COVID-19 mitigation strategy to Nazism, the ideology that led to the Holocaust.

"Biden has deployed his Needle Nazis to Mesa County," Boebert tweeted. "The people of my district are more than smart enough to make their own decisions about the experimental vaccine and don't need coercion by federal agents. Did I wake up in Communist China?"

Only 42% of all residents aged 12 and above in Mesa County, located in Boebert's western Colorado congressional district, have been fully vaccinated. The COVID-19 vaccines are not "experimental," and have all received emergency-use authorization from the Food & Drug Administration.

In a Tuesday speech on the state of the COVID-19 pandemic and the US's vaccine efforts, President Joe Biden said that "we need to go community-by-community, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, and oft times door-to-door, literally knocking on doors" to reach individuals who haven't yet been vaccinated and offer a vaccine.

That seems that’s all they know how to do.

The ppl of CO are so embarrassed by her, she’s got some good challengers..I look for her to be gone in the midterms

4. I'd really love to have Rep. Boebert actually wake up in communist China.

We could use a break, and she needs to see a real authoritarian government in action; up close and personal.

I don't believe the Chinese government would make taking the vaccine voluntary.

...in the same thought. (Using the term, thought, loosely.)
On a daily basis, she proves that she didn't learn anything in HS, & she likely cheated on the GDE.
She's oblivious to the differences between Nazis and party communists.
Not that I'm surprised

More right-wing performance art that's only going to hurt themselves in the end.

This is a truly stupid country.

At the very least it’s going to make people (understandably) reluctant to sign up to help.

15. The GOP grows more and more irrelevant as a political party every day.

If it weren't for the fact that each state gets two senators no matter their population, voter suppression laws, filibuster rules in the senate, dirty campaign money, etc., they would have long since fallen into the dustbin of history.

They have no popular core values so they have to pander to the extreme fringe elements of our country in order to get any political support.
