GOP seeks Biden referendum over vaccine mandates

[left-of-center2012]

Congressional Republicans are blasting President Biden’s latest steps to require more people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 as
“un-American” and vowing to fight back against them.

“To Joe Biden, force is more important than freedom.
Americans won't stand for it,” said House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). One House Republican suggested the expanded vaccine requirements could lead to a “revolt,” while
J.D. Vance, a Republican running for a Senate seat in Ohio,
called for “mass civil disobedience” to “save us from Joe Biden's naked authoritarianism.”

“Honestly what the hell is wrong with Democrats?
Leave people the hell alone. This is insanity,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) wrote on Twitter.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who was temporarily suspended from Twitter this summer for violating its COVID-19 misinformation policy, said Thursday that
“we should make every effort” so that hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, and Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody drug are “just as available as vaccines in order to save lives.”

Health authorities have strongly advised against taking hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, or ivermectin, which is used to treat parasitic worms, as measures for COVID-19.

1. I think a lot of us are sick of their shit

and the mandates are more popular than they know....

Especially among business leaders, as it makes their lives easier.

So suck it, Republicans.

2. @mtg, the stupid #Republican does not understand the best way to save lives is to PREVENT #covid

infection in the first place.

3. Mandates

The republican/fascists can piss and moan all they want, a majority of citizens are solidly behind President Biden on this.

[liberal N proud]

4. At every turn, they try to attack Biden

It is all part of their plan to destroy his character and his Presidency. This is how they plan to win in 2024 and even the midterms

5. It's not "force", McCarthy.

It's duty.

Remember mommy and daddy talking about that?

Remember your Boy Scout oath?

Remember rootin'-tootin' gawd-loving all-American Republicanism?

What a fucking twit.

6. Regeneron costs $1200 per dose? CEO has some connection to De Santis and/or Abbott?

[PortTack]

12. Yes...the ceo of the company that makes regeneron has made BIG donations to deathsatan

7. Know what, you Republican jerks?

This isn't something you can filibuster. We voted last year, you lost. That last asshole killed over half a million Americans through his feckless "leadership." We're doing something else.

8. This is a fight

That Biden is eager to have.
Coupled with the Texas abortion ban, the GOP are setting the table for the POTUS to appeal to large majorities across many states

9. Oh ffs.

Could they be more pointlessly stupid?

10. Hoping for some big indictments soon to feed the MSM. Get off this fuggin' crap. Nt

11. Jefferson, FDR....

So un- American that polio was eradicated. People stood in lines and children got it at schools.

Madison set up a US Vaccine Agency.

We are tired of their childish, selfish bullshit. Playtime was over last fall. But they're owing the liberals. Always about "Owning" someone else.

14. While we're at it, let's take FDR off the heads of dimes.

After all, it was FDR (and Eddie Cantor) who introduced "The March of Dimes" campaign to fight polio. And considering that FDR spent decades in a wheelchair and in pain from leg braces due to infantile paralysis b/c of contracting polio, who would know better?

[no_hypocrisy]

13. If the GOP is so set against mandates, then they HAVE TO

own all the people who die from Covid. It's that easy.

[tanyev]

15. "Leave people the hell alone" so they can suck up all our hospital resources for how long?

Not to mention years of long-term health consequences and the probability of new variants emerging.
