Taking his toughest tone yet against those Americans still unvaccinated, Pres. Biden has triggered vows of legal challenges from GOP governors representing some of the very states where he's trying to use mandates to get more people inoculated.
He continued,"Look, I am so disappointed that particularly some Republican governors have been so cavalier with the health of these kids, so cavalier with the health of their communities. We're playing for real here -- this isn't a game."
"These pandemic politics, as I refer to it, are making people sick, causing unvaccinated people to die. We cannot allow these actions to stand in the way of the large majority of Americans who have done their part and want to get back to life as normal," Biden said. He called out the governors, many of whom are now criticizing his approach, saying,"if these governors won't help us beat the pandemic, I'll use my power as president to get them out of the way."
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was asked on Friday what caused Biden and the rest of the administration to change its tune on blaming the unvaccinated for the pandemic -- after Psaki said in June that she didn’t want to place blame.
