Republican Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders has vowed that her state will not participate if another round of federal COVID restrictions is imposed.
“COVID lockdowns killed businesses, tore apart communities and stunted our kids’ education. And now they’re talking about doing it again. So let me be clear: as long as I am governor, Arkansas will never lock down” Ms. Huckabee Sanders said while Speaking in a video statement that was posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We will not close our schools, our churches, or our businesses. We will never make you or your children wear a mask. And we will never ever have a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.”
