Washington DC, the Senate passed bipartisan legislation Wednesday nullifying President Biden’s vaccine mandate on America’s employers, kicking the fight into the House where Republicans are eager to hand the administration a bipartisan rebuke.
In a 52-48 vote, lawmakers voted to invoke the Congressional Review Act, an oversight tool that lets Congress repudiate federal regulations by a simple majority vote.
Every single Republican voted for the measure alongside two moderate Democrats, Sens. Joe Manchin III of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana.
“I am a survivor of childhood polio … trust me there is no bigger proponent of vaccination than I am,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican. “But here’s the thing, the United States of America is a free country … Elites in Washington cannot micromanage citizens’ personal choices without a legitimate basis in law and the constitution.”
Republicans also argued the mandate, which demands that private sector companies with more than 100 employees require vaccination or risk financial penalties, would result in countless American workers losing their jobs.
Good. Another smack in the face to the dirtbag Biden administration made up of idiots, liars, fakes and control freaks.
This bipartisan action against Biden should send a clear message to the scumbag in Trenton that if he tries to vaccine passport NJ he will be defeated by a citizenry that will not tolerate authoritarian control.
And dems had the nerve to call Trump a tyrant. What scumbags!
The nation needs to put their differences aside and come together and say Let’s Go Brandon!
