The White House thanked Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Monday for his leadership in the coronavirus vaccine rollout.
The White House Twitter account responded to a video from ABC News in which McConnell called for Republican men to overcome reported vaccine hesitancy. It’s the third time in recent days that McConnell has made such comments, amid polls showing GOP male voters are less likely to get vaccinated.
“I saw on some program last week that Republican men, curiously enough, might be reluctant to take the vaccine. I’m a Republican man, and I want to say to everyone: we need to take this vaccine. These reservations need to be put aside,” McConnell said in the video.
“Senator McConnell is right — and we thank him for his leadership. It’s important every American do their part and get vaccinated when it’s their turn,” the White House wrote.
