In response to President Joe Biden announcing his vaccine mandate for federal workers, Republican members of Congress have criticized the new rule for infringing on personal freedoms. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) called the mandate, “fascist— downright totalitarian.”
“Listen, the president of the United States just simply doesn’t have the authority for this kind of order. We can’t even fire federal employees for not doing their job, but we’re going to fire them for not getting vaccinated. That’s gross. It’s insane and it frankly violates the liberty of every federal worker, and it’s going to lead to this push-down effect,” Donalds said during an interview with Newsmax on Thursday.
