DC Mayor Pushes Proof of Vaccine, but Members of Congress Push Back

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is the latest in a string of left-wing mayors to institute a proof-of-vaccination mandate. Starting on Saturday, anyone 12 or older who wants to eat at a restaurant, go to a concert, or see a movie in the nation’s capital will have to present proof of vaccination against COVID-19.

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., is one of 19 lawmakers to sign a letter asking Bowser to reverse her decision. Norman thinks Bowser's mandate will have adverse consequences for people living in or visiting the District of Columbia.

"It's a draconian overreach of government," Norman says, adding: "This has been a nightmare for so many of the people that are trying to put food on the table, and they're getting hit with cost increase after cost increase. There is a limit."

Norman joins the show to discuss Congress’ efforts to prevent the mandate from taking effect—and the consequences for the city's businesses and residents if it does.
