Congress Exempt From Biden's Vaccine Mandate

So that is your excuse. We are talking not about the public but about CONGRESS, only a few hundred total, their staff and all. So why didn't Trump order that?

That would be because Trump downplayed the virus from day one even though he was told in JAN 2020 covid was deadly and he went on the air going "It will all be over by memorial day'.

I guess you don't even believe your god king could have EVER said anything as repulsive as that though.

So what rational do you have for Trump saying it will all be over by memorial day or ingest BLEACH or stuff a UV light up your butt, yep that will really scare all those covid viruses.

He downplayed it continuously or are you one of those charged with rewriting history?

Politicians should submit to the gene vaccines first.

Lead by example. If not, deny them the right to go into the capitol building unless they get tested regularly. Deny them the right to vote too. Rights must be earned.

In July 2021, Monahan issued an indoor mask mandate for House members and their staffs. This did not extend to the Senate. A vaccination mandate still hasn’t been enforced in Congress.

As such, we rate this claim as “True.”

I find it interesting that an indoor mask mandate for House members and their staffs was issued but not a gene vaccine. Why the former and not the latter?

The House lifted its mask mandate in June for fully vaccinated individuals. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2021/06/11/house-mask-mandate-lifted-as-capitol-vaccination-rate-reaches-85/?sh=677ee86f58bd

There are rules for congress and rules for the rest of us. They don't have to follow the rules the rest of us do. It is a classic "do as we say, not as we do" scenario.

It is none of your business if congress took the gene vaccine.

@Metal-Brain
WOW, for that, they should be TARRED and FEATHERED and THEN kicked out of office.

You really know how to pick your fights.

Our lives seem to be becoming ethereal with Biden. Hell, at least the previous president had original thoughts, and threw them out there.

This is public knowledge and I assume you did not read Woodwards book.

Woodward is not National Enquirer kind of writer, he is a multiple award winner and his latest book Rage is a best seller and every repub should be required to read it.

So democrats support gene vaccine mandates, except for congress and their minions?
Covid cares about congress? I thought covid doesn't care.

Apparently congress doesn't trust the safety of the genetic vaccines. If they did they would not be promoting vaccine hesitancy in their own circle.
