The GOP struggles with what to do on employer vaccine mandates

[Zorro]

President Biden this week responded to the Food and Drug Administration’s full authorization of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine by calling on employers around the country to mandate it for their employees — which it seems many will.

And Republicans as a party don’t seem to know what to do with that.

In the days since the FDA’s authorization and Biden’s call, Republicans who have otherwise fought tooth and nail against vaccine mandates have been surprisingly quiet about the prospect of employer mandates. And the few who have spoken out have generally said employers should be allowed to implement them.

The issue has played out in recent weeks and months in a number of states, with some lawmakers pushing for bans on mandates. But unlike the party’s posture toward school mask mandates, government vaccine mandates and vaccine passports, there is little cohesion on this subject. So far, only one state bans employer vaccine mandates: Montana.

1. Let's see if those GQP commies want to step in and tell businesses

What they can't do to their employees.

Next thing you know they'll be telling workers to rise up and stage a peaceful walk out accompanied by patriotic consumption of horse dewormer.
