Polis for president? Now he’s pandering to Fox News on vaccine mandates. ( Colorado )
Colorado Peak Politics ^ | Dec 16, 2021

Posted on 12/18/2021 8:48:44 AM PST by george76

Colorado state workers will be surprised to learn Gov. Polis now professes to believe vaccines should be a matter of choice, as opposed to the government mandate he imposed on them in September.

The Democrat’s comments on freedom during this time of COVID came during an interview with Neil Cavuto on Fox (Gasp!) News.

“I think at some level this becomes a matter of individual responsibility, individual freedom, informed choice,” Polis said.

Except Polis’s idea of choice and freedom is to force state employees to get the shot or get tested for COVID twice a week for all eternity.

That’s not freedom, baby.

...

But according to this new and strange sounding Polis:

“We try to provide science-based information for the health and safety with that we all need from doctors we know and trust with, of course, the individual freedom and local control that we deserve. So put the information out there. I think the evidence is overwhelming. Neal, the vaccine helps protect you, reduces the death rate significantly 15 times is what we’re seeing here in Colorado.”

But what about all these other states where governors are imposing mandates to force people to get vaccinated, Cavuto asked?

Rather than admit Colorado is one such state and he is one such governor that has done exactly that, Polis responded:

“You can’t at the end of the day, force people to do something they don’t want to do. I think you have to look into why there’s this resistance. I think some of it comes out of misinformation. Some of it comes out of the fact that some people just don’t like to be forced, even if it’s something that’s good. They want to be informed and make that decision on their own. I think we’ve got to get the right data in front of people to see the overwhelming evidence.”

This doesn’t sound like our progressive governor who locked us down, closed businesses for nearly a year, canceled Christmas and mandates vaccines for state workers.

This sounds like the same politician who reminded us he’s up for reelection when he told the media last week the COVID emergency is over.

Only now it appears Polis wants to up his game to a higher ambition— running for president against Joe Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary.

CNN is already reporting that Biden will be 82 and too old to serve another term.

The unabashed liberal network has put forth several Democrat names for consideration should Biden decide against a second term, all of whom Tucker Carlson mocked during his show just hours after Cavuto.

Then this happened:

...

That would explain his bold-faced lies double talk on vaccine mandates, and this whole new persona that believes in freedom and individual responsibility.

So does this mean Polis will cancel the vaccine mandate for state employees and hospital workers?

A real journalist should probably ask him about this, as opposed to simply fawning over Fox News dropping his name as a potential for president because Polis said he would support eliminating the state income tax, but hasn’t actually lifted a finger to make it so.

The overwhelming evidence is the “fully vaccinated” are the ones catching Covid and getting sick.

Polis, like ButtBoy, will never be President.

Of course I said the same thing about Biden.

The next Democratic President will alternate between having sex with children and farm animals on the WH lawn while telling the presstitutes “love makes a family”.

You heard it here first.

Polis has figured out the game. Without a miracle drug the virus is a political loser and politicians need to avoid responsibility for fighting it. Make the medical industry and the citizens responsible.

Smart.

Polis can be translated as police. Polis loves his police state.

If you don't win the election, you get to keep the campaign funds. That might be a nice haul if you can do the fundraising part well enough and hire all your relatives as campaign officials. Hire a good acting coach and a makeup artist for your video appearances. You will do great.

There are opportunities everywhere.

I’m glad Polis came out with this. It helps in the ongoing collapse of the covid scam narrative.

The Democrat Governors don’t want to be shot by the BLM bullet. They are going to fake a 2024 run and get richer.

I agree. But for Polis to come out with this helps in the ongoing collapse of the covid scam narrative.
