Once again, our tongue-tied President Biden stuck his foot in his mouth. At a town hall meeting he chose to mock people who use ‘freedom’ as a defense for refusing a shot.
This all was started after Biden unleashed his anger over those choosing not to vaccinate themselves due to their freedom of rights. Biden said, “Cops and other first responders SHOULD be fired for not getting the vaccine.”
Many public service workers were appalled at his words. Some took to social media stating, they put their lives on the line to protect and serve our country, why should they not have the right to decide what to put into their own bodies.
They aren’t seeking to spread or make others sick and definitely take proper guide lines to stay protected while doing their jobs.
President Biden clapped back saying, “I have the freedom to kill you with my Covid. Come on!”
He also continued to ridicule people who say mandates infringe upon their freedom.
With all the side effects to the vaccinations, that people are seeing over time, you think our President would be a little bit more understanding. Shouldn’t there be some common ground amongst the people?
President Biden defended his stance on vaccine mandates in uncompromising terms. Biden said, “The U.S. has lagged behind other wealthy nations in vaccinating people against COVID-19.” The he further stated, “Are those who just try to make this a political issue – freedom? Let’s get real people.”
Biden further criticized what he called ‘misinformation’ about the death of former Secretary of State Colin Powell that focused on the fact he was fully vaccinated.
‘Well he knew he had serious underlying conditions, and it would be difficult,’ said Biden.
‘He clearly would have been gone earlier had he not gotten the vaccine.’
After averting attention on the vaccination issues, Biden continued to talk about his plans for a multi trillion dollar social spending plan, which is currently deadlocked in Washington.
Progressives want to push through a massive overhaul of social spending while centrists – Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin – are pushing to reduce the price of the bill from its original $3.4 trillion.
Biden offered the centrists a concession, backing away from a corporate tax hike to pay for his Build Back Better agenda.
Biden had wanted an increase in the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent for the biggest companies, triggering warnings that it could hamper growth and that the costs would be passed on to workers and consumers.
He immediately faced questions about whether he could bring around the holdouts in his own party, particularly Manchin, but expressed optimism that he was close to deal after weeks of intra-party bickering.
“I think so, you know, look … I was a senator for 370 years,” he said triggering laughter.
“I was relatively good at putting together deals.”
Manchin, he added, would fall into line.
“Joe’s not a bad guy,” said Biden. “He’s a friend and he’s always the end of the day come around.”
Overall, he said, the aim was to get the bill done and worry about what had been left out later.
“I’m prepared to do the things that we can get done now, that can begin to change the lives of ordinary Americans to give them a fighting chance and come back and try to get others later,” he said.
All in all, the final takeaway from the town hall meeting, was rather lackluster and disappointing. When you start to get into the meat of Biden’s answers (such as they were), Biden revealed he had no answers and/or just doesn’t tell the truth.
