Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, came out on Friday against President Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for businesses with 100 or more employees, saying she doesn't think it’s the “correct” or “most effective” move.

The Democratic governor, who is up for reelection next year, said she appreciates “the intention to keep people safe” but doesn’t think the administration’s vaccinate-or-test requirements serve as a “solution for Kansas.”

“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,” she said.

She faking it and change her mind after her pay off?

While I am suspicious of her motives, I can’t say as I am unhappy that now even a democrat governor is pushing back.

What the hell is a democrat doing as governor of Kansas??

[DIRTYSECRET]

Red state-where’s the heavy lifting?

That is indeed the question!

Ask the voting machines and the mail-in ballots.

What is the logic behind “over 100 employees”? To make sure small business still suffer, or large donors get special treatment?

Cross dressing as a moderate every four years...

[eartick]

Yes we demand ALL be vaccinated not just over 100 employees. Slight of the tongue

I didn’t know Kansas had another RAT governor. Weird that she eeked in. Kansas is a heavily Republican state and I thought they learned their lesson after Selibus.

Uh oh…a poodle head in her bed is coming soon…

I hope none of her friends has invited her to a wedding.

There was a horrible, unelectable R that ran against her. Kris Kobach (sp?). I lived there at the time, and he ran a HORRIBLE campaign. He tried to run for the open R primary US Senate seat too. Thankfully he lost that primary and the R won the seat.

Wyandotte, Johnson, and Shawnee counties put her over the top. We also got the loon Sharice Davis in 2018.

Send her a subscription to the New York Times so she can read page one stories like this one on how the recent Green Pass protest in Italy created a deadly outbreak of covid in Italy.
