Texas congressmen push Gov. Abbott to defy Biden vaccine mandates
Fox News
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, is penning a letter with eight of his Texas delegation colleagues to the Lone Star State governor calling on him to “take all steps necessary” to block Biden’s vaccine mandate.
Abbott signed an executive order into law Aug. 25 prohibiting vaccine mandates in Texas and has pledged to push back on Biden's new actions. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also pledged to sue the Biden administration over the mandates. "We encourage you to utilize all powers vested in you as Governor of Texas and all tools at your disposal to ensure that the federal government does not penalize, arrest, fine, coerce, or otherwise harm any Texan – or shut down any Texas business from operating – due to these COVID-19-related mandates," the lawmakers wrote in the letter exclusively obtained by Fox News.More Related News
