Utah Sen. Mike Lee leading group of senators threatening to hold up government funding if federal vaccine mandates are not dropped
In a letter Friday, the senators ask for the chance to vote on an amendment to"defund the enforcement of remaining federal vaccine mandates on government contractors, members of the military, all other federal employees, and medical care providers."
“These COVID-19 vaccine mandates amount to a serious abuse of both federal power and executive authority. They also further strain the economic and social pressures our society currently faces, while completely ignoring existing evidence-based data on natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection," the letter reads.
Along with Lee, the other senators included in the letter are Ted Cruz , Steve Daines , Rick Scott , James Lankford , Roger Marshall Ron Johnson , Mike Braun , Cynthia Lummis and Rand Paul
