Author J.D. Vance, an Ohio U.S. Senate candidate, proposed Monday that Republicans should shut down the government until President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate ends.
Speaking at an Ohio GOP Senate Forum, Vance said Republicans should avoid giving Democrats a “bipartisan flag to wave around” as they did with the infrastructure bill, setting his sights on the upcoming debt limit.
“We gave the Democrats a bipartisan flag to wave around Washington DC that they are going to use to spend more money,” asserted Vance.
“Now, what should we be doing? Right now, we have the Biden administration enorcing a vaccine mandate down people’s throats,” he continued. “At the same time, we have a debt limit coming up. Instead of giving them a bipartisan flag to wave, we should shut down the government until the vaccine mandate ends.”
The suggestion solicited applause from the audience.
“We keep on getting out played, so as long as we keep sending people to Washington to get outplayed by the Democrats, we’re going to keep losing our country,” he concluded.

He’s right. They should do this ASAP.
“This is the hill to die on” — Matt Bracken
Should work for all of us.
Hear! Hear!
Stealth Assistant Democrat.
He’ll say anything to get elected.
After that...
As a govt employee, yes please.
That would be a dilemma. The goobermint stays shut down or the man-date goes away. That’s like asking chocolate or vanilla. Can’t we have both?
I would be directly affected by a shutdown. And I say...shut...it...down!
I understand the cynicism but it’s great to hear something like this from a GOP candidate.
If only 50 of them had that kind of attitude thigs would change very quickly.
He despises Trump.
He’s changed his mind on Trump, AFAIK.
I don’t know how him well enough.
But still great to hear this kind of thing
Mask Mandates too!
Agree
As far as general counsel for most companies, there was no legal mandate for anything. Just words and a fear-porn addicted society.
I’m afraid he’s another one that tells people what they want to hear to get elected. He was anti Trump and outspoken about it. I don’t trust him at all.
Wormy GOP leadership will fail again.
I’m not a supporter just like what he’s saying here.
But I do think he has changed his mind on Trump and addressed this.
I can play you clips of Rand calling Trump an orange windbag and other unpleasant things in the heat of a primary that did not stop them being friends or working together, did it?
Any way the wind blows.
Imagine of Congress got laid off without pay and had to live on unemployment. So how fast they fix things
