The WV Republican Party continues to fight mandates

WV Attorney General Patrick Morrisey:

We are working on yet another lawsuit against the Biden Administration. You would think they would have learned their lesson about mandates?

Our work continues after we file our huge party brief at SCOTUS on our Article I, EPA authority case on Monday. Let’s go!

Senator Shelley Moore Capito:

“I’ve heard from countless West Virginians who strongly oppose President Biden’s illegal vaccine mandate, and for good reason,” Senator Capito said."https://t.co/EplEPXH7wy

What’s the “good reason,” Senator?

While the virus continues to surge

Even as the Party knows that getting everyone vaccinated would greatly lessen the problem

From WBOY:

At yesterday’s news conference, Governor Justice reported that 92% of recent deaths in the state were among the unvaccinated.

And at today’s conference:

Officials are seeing an increase in the percentage of hospitalized patients who are unvaccinated, currently sitting at 82%, while 85% of those on ventilators are also unvaccinated, Gov. Justice said.

Still, the Republican Party continues to blame Biden

(Note that the q&a session appeared to be over and that the question was shouted at the President after he had left the podium.)
