Chris Wallace Perfectly Shames GOP Governor Over Vaccine Mandate Hypocrisy

Last week, President Joe Biden's administration unveiled a six-point plan to combat the latest phase of the pandemic that's killed over 600 thousand Americans and upended daily life in the United States for more than a year.

A key objective of the plan is encouraging vaccinations, which have lagged even as the stronger, more contagious Delta variant continues to spread. Sadly, a right-wing disinformation ecosystem has encouraged skepticism and outright delusions regarding the vaccines, claiming they're secretly magnetized or even that they're the "mark of the beast."

The latest Biden plan requires hospitals receiving Medicare and Medicaid funding to have an entirely vaccinated staff. Biden also called on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a division of the Department of Labor, to mandate that businesses with 100 or more employees require vaccinations or weekly COVID-19 tests.

Though a majority of Americans support vaccine mandates, the move was met with hysteria from the right, especially from Republican governors, many of whom vowed to fight the new rules.

One of those governors—Pete Ricketts of Nebraska—appeared in an interview on the conservative Fox News network, where host Chris Wallace put him through the wringer for his hypocritical position.
