Democrat Fails, Hypocrisy, and Lies

Biden vs first responders

Rapid Response

This National First Responders Day, it’s clear: Republicans stand with first responders, and Biden and the Democrats don’t.

After months of defunding police departments, Democrats now want to force thousands of first responders out of a job with coercive vaccine mandates.

  • In New York: thousands of fire fighters, police officers, and other first responders are protesting the mandate, and nurses are suing the state.
  • In Chicago: the police department could lose 1/3 of its officers as first responders speak out against the mayor’s mandate.
  • In Seattle: police officers are protesting the city’s mandate.
  • In San Francisco: the Police Officers Association warns that calls “will be left unanswered” as 120 sworn officers are forced out under that city’s mandate.
  • In Virginia: Officers are advocating against a vaccine mandate, warning about emergency response staffing shortages.

And what does Biden want cities to do if first responders stand up for their fundamental rights as Americans? Fire them.

 Biden treats the word “freedom” as a four letter word, and now wants to force more officers out of a job as departments nationwide already face a staffing crisis fueled by defund-the-police Democrats.

First responders are heroes. They protect our streets, run towards danger to rescue others, and are helping all of us through the pandemic – they deserve respect, not divisive mandates from Democrat politicians.
