President Biden and other Democrats are talking about the Texas abortion law and vaccine mandates in the hopes of driving this administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal from the news cycle. Meanwhile, on MSNBC, Joe Scarborough was doing his part to help out with those narratives:
.@JoeNBC: “60, 70 percent of Americans support” Biden’s vax mandate.
Adds that it’s “rich” for Texas to oppose the mandate despite restricting abortion, which, he says, is a “specifically enumerated constitutional right” pic.twitter.com/u3UeKyONxc

A “specifically enumerated constitutional right,” eh?
Democrats can say and do anything bc they’re never held accountable. “Specifically enumerated “? https://t.co/38beotCcdw

What's an "enumerated right?"

Wait. Abortion is an enumerated constitutional right? https://t.co/ONrMo9SglN

There are a whole lotta people that have no clue what’s actually in the Constitution.

And they hope their viewers don’t either.
It's clearly stated in Article 12! https://t.co/vuChQ2BMew

It makes sense that @JoeNBC, who is constantly misrepresenting the Second Amendment, thinks abortion “specifically enumerated constitutional right.”

He also doesn't seem to understand the 10th Amendment.

I mean, reasonable people can and do disagree over whether the constitution protects the right to an abortion, but "specifically enumerated"? Find the word "abortion" one time in the document.
It's flat out not specifically enumerated by definition.

What an absolute ignorant clown @JoeNBC has become.

These people know they are lying, they just say these things because they know their viewers don’t know better and will believe it in the face of all opposing evidence. https://t.co/ujh8hPWAIS

As far as Scarborough’s claim that 60 or 70 percent of Americans support a vaccine mandate goes, that’s not the case:
He's not even right. As usual, @joenbc picks and chooses what he wants to accept. https://t.co/yemfV6eLFt

Other than that, Scarborough nailed it!
