The governor of Texas is leaving nothing up to doubt regarding his position on vaccine mandates and passports in that state:
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott, responding to what he called "bullying" by the Biden Administration, on Monday barred all COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the state by any entity, including private employers.
Abbott's move sets him up for a clash with President Joe Biden, a Democrat who last month called on businesses nationwide to order their workers to be vaccinated or lose their jobs. At least several thousand people have since been fired for refusing to comply.
"In another instance of federal overreach, the Biden Administration is now bullying many private entities into imposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates, causing workforce disruptions that threaten Texas' continued recovery from the COVID-19 disaster," Abbott said in an executive order.
See, there we go! Was that so hard?
Other Republican governors should take note: It's not difficult. You can use the power of your office to protect the civil liberties of your constituents. Give it a shot and see how it works!
