South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has called the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) recent threat this week to rescind the state’s workplace safety plan a “preemptive strike by the federal government.”

“With no state regulators in the way, the federal Labor Department will be free to penalize employers who do not comply with President [Joe] Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate,” McMaster said on Twitter.
