CNBC personality Jim Cramer is not just a stock market aficionado, but he is also a bar-owner in the New York area.
His business was hammered last year during the height of the lockdowns, and now he is desperate to get back to full capacity. His “light at the end of the tunnel” is the COVID vaccines, which he has touted religiously ever since they were made available to the public.
In his desperate attempt to get back to ‘normal’, Cramer is now all-in on requiring proof of vaccination before you can step foot in his restaurant.
Unsurprisingly, Cramer received immense backlash to this decision. In response, Cramer got defensive and got sassy on Twitter. It also appears that he LIKES being called a communist! (Yes, really)
so now i am a card carrying communist because i want to see your VAX letter before you go to my restaurant. Well then i am a Communist.

“Papers, please”? I think not! I may have my papers, but I also have my 4th Amendment right to privacy and HIPAA laws prohibit you from viewing my personal medical information. You either want bar patrons or you don’t. We are and always have been free to move about our Country, and no law has been passed to deny that, Jim.
