Because Joe Biden believes in freedom, unlike Donald Trump, his administration is mandating that all federal employees get the COVID19 vaccination.

The subject of the mandate came up during Jen Psaki’s White House press briefing this afternoon:
REPORTER: "Can the Department of Labor or anybody else compel major employers, the large employers, to force the vaccine mandates on their employees?"

Psaki was also asked how the administration squares the mandate with their professed opposition to the Texas heartbeat law over threats to individuals’ control over their own bodies. Jen handled it just as well as her boss would have:

Way to make Joe proud, Jen!
You can tell she works for walk away Joe.

Honestly, though, it’s hard to blame her for walking away. After all, just a few months ago, she said that a federal proof-of-vaccination mandate wasn’t even on the table:
NEW: Press sec. Psaki rules out any possible federal vaccine passport: "There will be no federal vaccinations database and no federal mandate requiring everyone to obtain a single vaccination credential." https://t.co/XyJJRzNjzl pic.twitter.com/2nrzeU9aiQ

We’d run away, too, if we had to justify so much hypocrisy so often.

We won’t hold our breath for Jen to circle back on this one.
