Conservative lawmakers urge Senate GOP to shut down government to defund Biden's vaccine mandates

Ahead of February's upcoming government shutdown deadline, a group of House Republicans have declared their opposition to any bill to fund the government that also funds the Biden administration's vaccine mandates.

In a letter to GOP leadership first reported by Fox News, more than a dozen House lawmakers said they will not "vote to fund a federal government that is enforcing tyrannical COVID-19 vaccine mandates on the American people."

The Biden administration has enacted five federal vaccine mandates, four of which are currently in effect. President Joe Biden's recent order that businesses with more than 100 employees have their workers vaccinated or regularly tested was struck down by the Supreme Court, which ruled the Occupational Health and Safety Administration lacked the authority to impose such standards. Vaccine mandates for medical workers, the armed forces, federal employees, and federal contractors remain in effect.

The Republicans, led by Rep. Chip Roy (Texas), said Congress should not place its faith in the judiciary to strike down the rest of Biden's vaccine mandates. Writing to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), they advocated for unified Republican opposition to funding the executive branch agencies that enforce these mandates.

Do these House R’s realize that the Senate R’s are in bed with Big Pharma just as much as Brandon & the Dims?

“Half the House GOP is in bed with them too.”

Agree, and if they did try, our heroes, Manchin and Sinema, will simply side with their party and put an end to it. Republicans in Congress have to answer to those two, whether we like it or not.

People across the country should be erecting overnight gallows displays demanding these miscreants be held accountable. Visual statements and billboards.
