Republicans Vow ‘Never Again’ to Biden Attempt to Revive ‘COVID Tyranny’
Republicans are pledging “never again” to any Biden administration attempts to reintroduce COVID “tyranny” mandates amid rising concerns over potential coronavirus surges, vowing to implement legislation and other efforts to guarantee “ineffective, unscientific mask mandates” don’t return in “any way, shape, or form.”
In response to ongoing threats of the restoring of various coronavirus mandates, GOP lawmakers are vowing resistance.
Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio introduced the “Freedom to Breathe Act,” which aims to prohibit federal mask mandates, especially in public schools, airplanes, and public transport, effective until the end of 2024.

The matter comes as various entities begin to court mask mandates yet again, with President Biden seen masking up in indoor areas yet again.
