Following President Biden announcing his new plan to combat COVID-19, a number of Republican lawmakers are urging companies to “openly rebel” against it.
Biden that private companies that employ more than 100 people will be required to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations or weekly testing, and all federal employees and contractors must be fully vaccinated. Federal employees and contractors have 75 days to do so, with limited exceptions for health or religious reasons.
“Those businesses should openly rebel against any such rule,” Texas Rep. Chip Roy (R) .
“Are you people trying to start a full on revolt? Honestly what the hell is wrong with Democrats?” Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) . “Leave people the hell alone. This is insanity.”
“I encourage America’s job creators – large and small – to challenge this insane ‘order.’” Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott . “We cannot allow this unhinged administration to do even more irreparable harm to American workers, businesses and our economy.”
Coronavirus cases in the United States have continued to surge, with more hospitalized COVID-19 patients over Labor Day weekend compared to a year ago, according to from Johns Hopkins University. Only of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
"This is not about freedom or personal choice," in his announcement. "It's about protecting yourself and those around you."
