Four Senate Republican RINOs neglected to show up to cast their votes on an amendment that would have defunded President Joe Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates. Because of their inaction, the amendment failed, and so there are Americans who will still be forced to take experimental medicine they do not want to take, which doesn’t work correctly, anyway.
Think of the number of Americans who will be adversely affected by the vaccines getting a permanent disability or possibly die all because of worthless RINOs in the Senate.
Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) proposed an amendment to the continuing resolution (CR) that would have defunded Biden’s remaining vaccine mandates. He proposed the amendment because Lee understands how unamerican vaccine mandates are for a virus with a 99% survival rate.
Thanks to RINOs, the amendment was defeated 46-47. The RINOs who failed to show up for the vote were Richard Burr (R-NC), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and Mitt Romney (R-UT).
There were some Democrats who voted to defund the mandates. Though Senate Majority Leader Chuck You Schumer could have changed the vote from majority 51 threshold to 60, if the RINOs had joined those Democrats in voting against it, that would probably have been enough pressure to get more Democrats to do the right thing and vote to defund what Senator Lee calls Biden’s immoral vaccine mandates.

In December, Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Jon Tester (D-MT) voted for a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to defund the private employer vaccine mandate, but voted no on Senator Lee’s amendment.
Who do these people think they are to go along with vaccine mandates that the Biden administration has lawlessly imposed? Congress did not vote to approve any vaccine mandates. The administration is illegally enforcing them and the four RINOs just helped them to continue to do so.
There are still four vaccine mandates that the administration is enforcing that the Congress never voted on. They include vaccine mandates on federal employees, federal contractors, members of our military, and medical workers. The US Supreme Court thankfully shot down the unconstitutional OSHA mandate. For the life of me, I cannot understand how the Court could deem the OSHA mandate as unconstitutional but not the others. They rightfully ruled that OSHA does not have the authority to do a vaccine mandate, but neither does the rest of the administration have the authority to enforce the other four.
Representative Chip Roy (R-TX) took to social media to give his opinion on the failed amendment thanks to RINOs skipping the vote.
“Missing R’s keeping vax mandates alive? Romney (UT), Inhofe (OK), Burr (NC), & Graham (SC). No excuses – they should all be shamed. Now – EVERY @SenateGOP should be held accountable for voting to fund this government. Watch, count the votes, then act. #DefundVaxMandates“

I consider RINOs worse than Democrats. At least with Democrats we know what we’re going to get. It seems the RINOs make their decisions based not on the Constitution, but on how their decision affects them. They care more about how their votes will make them look and if it will harm their chances in their next election. RINOs are a cancer in the Republican Party and they should be eliminated with primary challenges as soon as possible.
