Social media exploded on Thursday after President Biden’s announcement that he would be mandating a federal vaccination, testing, and masking for not only federal employees, but for many private businesses as well.
“Companies with 100 employees or more will be required to get their employees vaccinated or have weekly COVID-19 tests under a new Biden White House plan to fight the covid-19 and encourage vaccination,” The Daily Wire said. “President Biden will outline a new federal strategy to deal with COVID-19 that includes more invasive restrictions and regulation than the federal government has put into place. Part of Joe Biden’s six-point strategy involves cracking down on companies with more than 100 employees to push their people to get vaccinated.”
According to The WSJ, the U.S. Labor Dept. plans to give an emergency standard in some weeks “implementing the fresh requirement, which will enforce the mandate on 80 million private-sector employees. … Businesses that do not comply will be fined up to $14,000 for each violation.”
The backlash on social media was immediate.
Daily Wire co-founder Jeremy Boreing said he would not comply with President Joe Biden’s dictates.
“The Daily Wire has more than 100 employees. We will not help with Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate,” Boreing said. “We will use everything our disposal, including legal actions, to push back against this overreach.”
The Daily Wire has well over 100 employees. We will not enforce Joe Biden's unconstitutional and tyrannical vaccine mandate. We will use every tool at our disposal, including legal action, to resist this overreach.
More to come @realDailyWire.

The Blaze CEO also expressed the same plan. “Yeah, I sure as s*** will not be enforcing the vaccine mandate,” Tyler Cardon tweeted.

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie (KY) said the dictate was “absolutely unconstitutional.”
This is absolutely unconstitutional:
"The expansive rules mandate that all employers with more than 100 workers require them to be vaccinated or test for the virus weekly, affecting about 80 million Americans."https://t.co/KkDzpN5hTR

“The new threat from Biden: ‘We have been patient, but our patience is wearing out,’” Massie said in a follow-up tweet. “I reply to you Joe, our patience is now gone.”
Newest threat from Joe Biden:
“We’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.”
I say to you Mr. President, our patience is gone.

The Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh said, “Joe Biden doesn’t have the power to do this. He is not a dictator. He is just a president and this is still the USA. All Americans who love freedom need to tell this decaying old dictator to go to hell.”
Biden does not have the power to do what he is doing. He is not a king. He is a politician and this is still the United States of America. He must be defied. All Americans who care about their freedom should tell this decaying old tyrant to go to hell.
