Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 25, 2021
Back in 2020 when the coronavirus vaccines were developed under the Trump administration, Joe Biden and progressive Democrats trashed them in the media. As you can see from these quotes, they were extremely skeptical about the effectiveness of coronavirus vaccines when Donald Trump was in charge. Of course, when Biden became President, the vaccine suddenly became entirely effective and highly encouraged. But Jen Psaki still maintained in July that mandating these vaccines is ``not the Federal Government's role.'' But now President Biden is forcing millions of Americans to choose between keeping their jobs or getting the vaccine. My office is flooded daily with calls from constituents who risk losing their livelihoods because of this administration's mandate. Apparently, protecting Americans' freedoms to make their own healthcare decisions is too much to ask. So far Joe Biden's Presidency has been defined by his out-of-touch agenda. A vaccine mandate is not what Americans want and is inconsistent with our national values, Madam Speaker. Tennesseans value freedom from government tyranny. That is why we elect leaders like Governor Billy Lee and members of the Tennessee General Assembly, who are fighting outrageous vaccine mandates. Our country prospers when elected leaders protect Americans' constitutional rights and freedoms. Unfortunately, this is a radical concept to President Joe Biden. ____________________
