GOP Congressman Scolds Media for Not Asking Democrats About Their Vaccinations, Reporter Informs Him They Have 100% Vaccine Rate
Jul 22nd, 2021, 4:50 pm
Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) chided the media for pestering congressional Republicans about whether they had been vaccinated for Covid-19 but not the Democrats, and was immediately informed by CNNs Annie Grayer that 100% of his Democratic colleagues had already gotten the shot.
Polls have consistently shown that vaccine hesitancy is higher among Republicans than Democrats, and this is often blamed, at least in part, on GOP politicians vocal objections to the vaccines or refusal to answer if they have been vaccinated.
Thursday morning, at a press conference held by the GOP Doctors Caucus, Grayer asked the lawmakers if they believed that Republicans needed to be more vocal about getting vaccinated in order to encourage their constituents to get vaccinated too.
You as a press have a responsibility to ask questions of the Democrats as well, replied Jackson. How many Democrats are willing to say whether or not theyve been vaccinated?
One hundred percent of Democrats have said theyre vaccinated, said Grayer.

(2,804 posts)He was/is a "Rear Admiral, Lower Half. I have known Naval Captains who were brilliant men, intelligent men, well read men who anyone would be proud to serve under. Im not saying they should have been promoted to Admiral rank, but how could they be skipped over while an obviously deficient alleged alcoholic like Ronny be promoted over them?
Jackson just does not meet the high level of professionalism and ability of his brother and sister admirals. He is, instead, a dull minded political hack, an alleged distributor of pain killer prescriptions to naval members benefit of examination or diagnosis, a mean drunk on the job, and, famously, a shameless promoter of the worst president in the history of the United States.
Is there a back story to his advancement from the officer to the admiral ranks?
(Specific to the event described in this story: For crying out loud, Ronny, the first, very first, rule law students learns is never ever ask a question to which you do not already know the answer. This rule is also followed by successful politicians.)
