Once again, the D.C. swamp pulled out another win last night. Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to the 2022 Continuing Resolution (CR) would have defunded vaccine mandates. It failed 46-47. Democrats were missing three votes, but Republicans were missing four. What happened here?
Republicans snatched defeat from the jaws of victory last night because of four spineless senators. This is inexcusable.
Remember that a full seven in ten Americans think that “it’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives” according to recent polling by Monmouth University. Americans have also begun to increasingly disapprove of the Biden administration’s handling of the pandemic, with 53% saying that Biden has done a bad job. The public’s opposition to vaccine mandates has also grown considerably in recent months, with only 42% supporting having to show proof of vaccination to work in an office or in a setting where they are around other people. This is down from 53% of people supporting such measures last September.
With numbers like these, why did Republican Senators Richard Burr, Lindsey Graham, Jim Inhofe and Mitt Romney not vote for Sen. Lee’s amendment that would have defunded vaccine mandates? After all, not showing up is just as bad as voting against it.
Of course, we know that Burr and Graham are the epitome of swamp creatures. They are emblematic of the rotten political establishment so despised by Americans across the country. Inhofe, at times a champion for American enterprise and energy independence, appears to be phoning it in now that he’s a lame duck.
