Cruz slams Biden's 'unconstitutional' vaccine mandate: 'They want to change the topic from Afghanistan'
Fox News
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Sunday that President Biden’s vaccine mandate for private businesses is designed to fail and being used only as a distraction from his "catastrophe" in Afghanistan.
"They want to change the topic from Afghanistan," the senator said. "It’s why Biden issued this completely illegal and unconstitutional vaccine mandate, because he wanted to change the topic from the disaster in Afghanistan.
"The vaccine mandate is going to be struck down in court. They know that," he continued. "But the president is defying the law because he wanted the press to start defending him and stop talking about the disasters in Afghanistan. And he’s counting on a bunch of big businesses, in particular, forcing their employees to comply before the matter is ever adjudicated and before the order is struck down."
