The point is, he didn’t bow to the will of the people as he claims. The reversal was shoved down his throat and he reacted by attacking those who supported repeal as “shameful” spreaders of “misinformation” and lionized himself and the few legislators who supported his unilateral demand saying: “They will never have to think twice about whether they did the right thing. No lost lives will occupy the confines of their conscience, sacrificed on the altar of political expediency.”
It isn’t political expediency for representatives of the people to act in accord of the people’s wises.
It is also dishonest to now claim “I agreed with their decision. I don’t always get it right, but I darn sure listen,” and say “One of the things I do pride myself on, I listen. When the electorate says, ‘Hey, that’s not what we want to do’. “We backed up, took a look at what we did. I understand I work for the people, not the other way around.” When he did nothing of the kind.
I understand what you’re saying. I do. If Perry had had it his way, he would have had it go through because it was the right thing to do. It gave people the option of getting the vaccine, and having insurance pay for it. This was the only way. However, the people rejected it based on the MSM BS, the legislature refused it, and instead of continuing the fight — like he always does (numerous examples) — he accepted the legislatures decision. He apologized for his “misstep.” He knows, and those of us who understand the issue know, he was right. But he accepted their decision instead of belaboring it. The people had spoken.
