KANSAS (KCTV) -- Despite being a fellow Democrat, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Friday morning came out against President Joe Biden's federal vaccine mandate for large companies.
The Kansas governor's dissent came with a soft tone, as Kelly said she "appreciate(s) the intention to keep people safe," but she concluded that "I don't believe this directive is the correct, or the most effective, solution for Kansas."
The governor's statement, in whole, reads:
“Yesterday, I reviewed the new vaccine mandate from the Biden Administration. While I appreciate the intention to keep people safe, a goal I share, I don’t believe this directive is the correct, or the most effective, solution for Kansas.
“States have been leading the fight against COVID-19 from the start of the pandemic. It is too late to impose a federal standard now that we have already developed systems and strategies that are tailored for our specific needs. I will seek a resolution that continues to recognize the uniqueness of our state and builds on our on-going efforts to combat a once-in-a-century crisis.”

Blue gov in a red state considers her own survival
We need a second and third, or she will be targeted and marginalized. Maybe John Bel Edwards in Louisiana, Roy Cooper in North Carolina. Beshear in Kentucky SHOULD know better, but he’s hopeless.
Associated Press version:
“Kansas governor more forceful against COVID vaccine mandates”
Wow...one of the few times I actually agree with what a Dem says. Of course, she is no doubt just looking at her re-election chances if she sticks with Poopy Pants.
Hey Govorner. Alls you have to do is say “NO”. Not justify your stabbing the President in the back, but if thats what you think we are looking at........
The evil witch tried to shutdown the schools. Luckily our state Board of Ed stopped it. This is just trying to save her sorry ass next year.
