North Carolina Congressional candidate Madison Cawthorn, who has used a wheelchair since an accident at 18, stands at the end of his #RNC2020 speech. "You can kneel before God, but stand for our flag ... Be a radical for our republic. For which I stand." pic.twitter.com/mQIKmSZxhm— MSNBC (@MSNBC) August 27, 2020

i feel like im...losing my mind. im being transported back to tent revival.

edit: yes, having a wheelchair doesn't mean you can't walk or stand, im marveling at the evangelical themes running through this. to me, it feels like the pastor putting his hand on your head and pronouncing you cancer free but the pastor is american exceptionalism. maybe im reaching though!

    Some people use a wheelchair because while they can stand for a short time, they can't walk or stay standing for long
