Senator Joni Ernst is accusing President Joe Biden of diverting attention away from the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks with his recently-announced vaccine mandates.
While appearing on the Fox News show America Reports, the Republican senator from Iowa told hosts John Roberts and Sandra Smith that the Biden administration is "leading by coercion" with the timing of his announcement.
"I would agree with the point that is being made by so many of my colleagues that this is a diversion away from 9/11 away from the 20th anniversary and away from the debacle that was his Afghanistan withdrawal," said Ernst.
Ernst said that Americans who were left in Afghanistan "should be a very pressing issue for the president," and that Biden "doesn't want to deal with that."

It makes them feel so wise, to have penetrated beneath the surface to the hidden depths they alone can see....
