I wrote last Sunday on how “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd got soundly schooled by Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, R. is currently a plaintiff in the Supreme Court regarding a lawsuit about a 2018 pro-life law that was signed by the then-Gov. Phil Bryant banned abortions for 15 weeks, but it was not implemented due to legal difficulties.
The two sparred over whether or not it was inconsistent to be against vaccine mandates while being pro-life, as well as Todd’s position that “a vaccine mandate is a pro-life position.” Reeves shut him down by pointing out two things, first citing President Biden’s senior medical adviser Dr. Fauci being on the show earlier:
But even if you listen to Dr. Fauci’s interview with you earlier today, he made it very clear that the vaccine may not keep you from getting the virus.
… and then noting that abortion does only one thing: kills unborn babies, and that there was no vaccine for that:
Roe has been enacted but 62 million American baby have been aborted and have therefore been murdered.
Unfortunately, Todd got into a fight again with Mike Braun (Ind.), this time in support of Biden’s workplace vaccine mandate. The two were discussing Braun’s opposition to Biden’s workplace vaccine mandate, something Dem. Recently, Senator Joe Manchin (W.Va.), also spoke out strongly against the mandate.
The longtime NBC News “journalist,” a Democrat apologist in the media if there ever was one, point-blank admitted he did not invite Braun on the show to talk about anything other than the vaccine mandate but would use the opportunity to again try to make the false equivalency between the vaccine mandate and being pro-choice.
Braun wasn’t having it, pointing out that a vaccine mandate causes people to lose their jobs (unlike getting an abortion) and also noting that in the scheme of things so-called “abortion rights” should be left up to the states.
“What about the liberty of the women who doesn’t want to carry a pregnancy to term?” Todd asked. “Why should the government force that? You don’t want the government to force people to get a vaccine. You’re essentially advocating for the government to force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term that she may not want to do.”
“You might try to create that as an issue of equivalency, I don’t,” Braun responded, before adding later that “Here, I’m saying on the abortion issue, take it back to the states where I think the Constitution intended it to be.”
Watch:
WATCH: @chucktoddYou are concerned about the freedom of those who have not been vaccinated. How about freedom for a woman who does not want to have a full-term pregnancy?@SenatorBraun (R-Ind.(R-Ind. It’s not my idea. pic.twitter.com/CBm2ujPNHI
