19 Governors, 2 AGs Resist Biden’s Vaccine Mandates
|
[EpochTimes] More than a dozen governors and two attorneys general late on Sept. 9 issued statements defying the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft
 ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation...
’s impending vaccine mandates for federal workers and private-sector workers.
President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., who gives the term geriatric a bad name. He blames Afghans for losing Afghanistan....
earlier in the day signed an executive order to require all federal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus. There would be no option to opt out via COVID-19 testing. The mandate also applies to government contractors and their employees.
The president later announced he would direct the Department of Labor to create a rule to have companies with over 100 employees mandate vaccinations or weekly testing, a move that affects more than 80 million workers in the private sector.
At least 19 governors and two attorneys general immediately issued statements disagreeing with the administration’s move, with several vowing to defy it.
They include the governors of Arizona, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming. All are Republicans.
They were joined by at least two state attorneys general, both Republicans, as of that night—Sean Reyes from Utah and Todd Rokita from Indiana.
Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, the chair of the National Governors Association, said in a statement: "I fully support continued efforts to increase vaccination rates across our nation, but the federal government mandates on private businesses are not the right answer.
"I have been consistent in freedom of businesses to require their employees to be vaccinated, and I have opposed the government from saying businesses cannot exercise that freedom. The same principle should protect the private sector from government overreach that requires them to vaccinate all employees."
Multiple Republican governors, including for Arizona, Georgia, and South Dakota, hinted or announced that they would seek legal avenues to resist the mandates.
"The COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective tools to prevent the disease, but getting the vaccine is and should be a choice," Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said in a statement. "These mandates are outrageous. They will never stand up in court. We must and will push back."
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wrote on Twitter, "I will pursue every legal option available to the state of Georgia to stop this blatantly unlawful overreach by the Biden administration."
South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem wrote on Twitter, "South Dakota will stand up to defend freedom. @JoeBiden see you in court." She later shared another Twitter post saying her legal team is prepared to stand up to the Biden administration’s mandates.
The Biden administration didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
