Members of the Freedom Caucus are urging Republican leaders to postpone their vote on the massive annual defense authorization bill until next year unless the vaccine mandate is repealed.
The Freedom Caucus blasted the Biden administration for continuing to coerce service members to comply with experimental Covid vaccine mandates despite Joe Biden’s admission that the “pandemic is over.”
“On September 18, 2022, President Biden admitted ‘the pandemic is over.’ Yet, the President and his “woke” Pentagon continue to force an experimental and largely ineffective vaccine onto America’s military personnel, and thousands of our best and bravest service members face involuntary discharges for refusing on religious or medical grounds – and the Department of Defense Inspector General has raised serious concerns regarding the wholesale denial of vaccine mandate exemption requests,” the group wrote in a letter to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday.
“Furthermore, even while President Biden’s policies are pushing highly trained and experienced personnel out of the military, every service branch is struggling to meet its recruitment goals. This is irrational and unacceptable,” the letter states.
