Kevin McCarthy tries to change the subject when pressed on Covid vaccine messaging
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tried to change the subject to taxes Tuesday after facing tough questions about his stance on the Biden administration's new Covid vaccine mandates.
"We can talk tax, too, if you wanted," McCarthy told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday after a lengthy grilling in which he denied sending mixed messages about vaccinations.
McCarthy, R-Calif., said that he supports the vaccines in general, but rejects the White House's latest push, which involves making some employers require their workers to get vaccinated or face weekly testing.
Over the weekend, he tweeted in all caps: "NO VACCINE MANDATES."
