Before Gov. Ron DeSantis became a superstar, a lot of us were eyeing South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for 2024. She’s disappointed in a lot of ways, though, and this tweet isn’t helping much. Workers have the power to say no to vaccine mandates at their place of employment, she says. Why? Because the job market is so good, they can just find another job.
Workers whose employers are mandating a vaccine for continued employment have the power to say no. Our robust economy and job market gives them the option to find a new employer that values personal choice and responsibility, and doesn’t force mandates on their employees.

Noem has officially bowed out of the fight. If it wasn't already clear before this. This is the most RINO-ey tweet ever. The retweet quote ratio is well deserved. https://t.co/gPan6WJV1H

I like the DeSantis approach much better. https://t.co/d42UcHlc5m

What a strange way to signal that you're endorsing Ron DeSantis. https://t.co/hvLJJrWJPo

"Don't want a vaccine? You can say no. Just be prepared to find another job!" Ugh. https://t.co/0Va5RLlBOu

Wow what a disappointment shes been. "Just get a different job". This tweet will age horribly. Kristi will he needing a new job. https://t.co/rbYar0IqJV

What a BS statement. Quit being a coward and declare mandates illegal. https://t.co/0DHCMpTMsn

Oh, that’s harsh.
Cite this tweet any time someone says they want Noem for President. https://t.co/mShT5jP2Pn

Republican governor tells her supporters to just be unemployed and let the free market sort out vax mandates.
Every conservative who promoted Noem as the next great leader should feel intense shame rn. https://t.co/hY0qGsthGJ

"You can just get a new job" is not only an elitest quip, it's something employees literally can't do if every workplace requires a jab. https://t.co/6xz79dsG90

Not when EVERY employer mandates it. Not when health insurance companies mandate it.
The solution is not more market-worship. The solution is to PREVENT any companies from mandating it in the first place. https://t.co/eJklMhUrKG

This is how Republicans like Noem cave to corporate vaccine mandates the way she caved to corporate pressure against transgender sports legislation, or how they "fight" without actually fighting https://t.co/3DUFAPmRMj

Voters whose governors refuse to step up to protect their citizens from immoral mandates have the power to say no. Our robust election system gives them the option to find a new governor that understands his responsibility is to the people, not to big corporations. https://t.co/fZQC1IEaEy
