Another pro-COVID GOP governor sabotaging Biden's efforts to end the pandemic. They cause more sickness & deaths & sabotage the economy. Just like with climate change, voting rts, women's rts, education, healthcare, life expectancy,criminal justice & guns, GOP keeps us back!

GovernorKayIvey wants to kill people just like her heroes DeathSantis and GovAbbott

GovernorKayIvey is the worst TheEnd

But she used the money for Covid from the fed to build prisons!? Whats wrong with this itch!?

BrendaKayB1 KKKate got something right... The Us gov need to make sure they return the Covid Relief Money they decided to award the police

54% with one shot is not enough to serve and protect your citizens over the winter, Governor.

Kay Ivey looks like a kindly grandmother but she just wants her constituents to die from Covid and stupidity. In infamous the words of Keenan Thompson, what's up with that?

This woman is old as dirt and needs to go sit down

They talk about shit hole countries but the reality is they have all the shit hole states.

I wonder if families can personally sue her, and the state, for any loved ones who die after the release of this statement?

Sure that’s not Grandma Gruder from the restaurant in the UP? Sure looks like her

The stupidity n ignorance of these state leaders is incredible Smdh then wonder why their some of the poorest, and dumbest states in the union!?! The sad part is that most of their citizens r either scared, go along to get along or just plain clueless of what’s truly happening

Now that's Leadership!

What can you say? It’s Alabama…

Stubborn fools 🙄

Here’s an idea…to counter contrarian BS tell them they don’t have to get vaccinated.

Good for her . Don’t give up local control to the feds .

Anti-immigrant policies have prevented ~40K diversity visa winners from receiving their visas. We must pass the “Keeping Our Promise Act” to ensure they get their visas & are not penalized for past Trump xenophobic measures. My oped w/ FWDus in thehill

The twitter troll farm cannot stand the concept of freedom of choice

Smart governor lady

Yikes! Time to retire.

Well of course. The dumbest people in America shouldn't be expected to ever do anything responsible and respectable. Ignorance is their banner of pride.

The 'glorious' state of East Mississippi strikes again. How many more East Mississippians can this governor kill off before reversing her policy because it is killing off her voting base.

Yet they will accept Covid funds for new prisons…

GovernorKayIvey needs help - serious medical help. Good that she’s got that free insurance!

Well, they do only have the 12th highest infection rate in the country. I'm sure her 2 faces think that's just fine.

Heeeeeerrrrreeee weeeee gooooo! Gotta one under each other with TX and FL. One dull tool shed

Is it a competition for the most stupid in the Republican world or what, the governor is very old even if she died, no big loss. My question is why young education Americans are putting up with such crap

Republicans sure live Covid

She needs a new rocking chair.

Race to the bottom of the bottomless pit ; it's a fantasy, an illusion there's no bottom,won't stop them !

Sigh. This only happens because hospitals are too compassionate to deny service. They KNOW their ignorance comes with a warranty
