Biden speech exposes deep divide on how Americans should live amid the COVID-19 pandemic
“Does Biden know about all the open states?” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted.
“…In a primetime address on the pandemic’s first anniversary, President Biden told Americans that if they do their part there’s a possibility they can gather with friends and family members for barbecues by Independence Day.
But in a nation deeply divided over how people should conduct their lives amidst COVID-19, the president’s remarks quickly came under scrutiny amid the ongoing debate between advocates of a more robust nanny state versus those who are eager to return to pre-Covid normalcy.
“This is a free people, this is a free country, how dare you tell us who we can spend the Fourth of July with,” conservative commentator Tucker Carlson said on his Fox News program not long after Biden had concluded his speech…”
In other words, he's promising something by JULY that we're already doing today. And the CDC guidance is already too restrictive by an order of magnitude. But I guess we're supposed to be grateful for any crumbs of liberty offered by his beneficent hand.
