Top Senate Republicans are dramatically stepping up their pro-vaccine outreach as several of their home states lag behind national Covid inoculation rates and mask recommendations return in many areas

Sen. Mitt Romney acknowledged there is an “organic” effort among his colleagues to promote vaccines because “the Delta variant is here, and if it causes another major spike in this country, it will have huge implications.” | Stefani Reynolds/The New York Times via AP.

“It’s the way out of this,” Blunt said in an interview, shortly after he read aloud several vaccine testimonials at Republicans’ leadership press conference. “This is a virus where, if you get very smug about how you think you’ve handled it, you’re about to get run over by a train.” Former President Donald Trump, still the party’s most important figure, is mostly concentrated on grievances unrelated to the pandemic. Across the Capitol, House Republicans have sent mixed messages and are far less likely to be vaccinated themselves. So the Senate GOP is diving into the difficult project of trying to convince its voters to get the jab, worried that spiraling infection rates in their home states will worsen, well, everything as the country tries to go back to normalcy.

It’s too late! They are responsible for the economy not meeting its potential. People will not eat out or do other things because of their anti science message sent for months. It’s very sad!

It’s become The Republican Flu. Too many of their voters are dying.

It’s about time for every public official to beat the drum on vaccinations. I don’t see Ron desantis doing it - why not?

About 6 months too late

They don’t think much of killing off republicans.

They're suddenly far less concerned about dead people voting in 2022.

Stop ripping the Biden administration for falling short of vaccine goals. Came pretty close. Blame lies at feet of unvaccinated.

Considering the lengths the Government is going through, is Covid really much worse then they are telling us and worried about a panic if all the science and other information comes out

It’s really about time. I’m surprised Republicans in Congress didn’t make a concerted effort months ago to blast the message. After all, they want voters alive in 2022, don’t they? 😏 VaccinesWork MittRomney LeaderMcConnell SenToomey

'Oops...we are murdering our own voters'

Now? Now? Gee, thanks…

Guess the GOP finally realized that dead people don't make great voters

Too little, too late. The GQP has blood on their hands and they know it. GOP

RogerMarshallMD doesn't even support masking up as the delta variant rips through Kansas. He supports COVID with the same enthusiasm he supported the twice impeached, one-term loser's insurrection and attempted coup.

'Pelosi Republican?: GOP turns on uber-conservative voter Cheney for believing facts, againRep. McCarthy referred to Reps. Cheney and Kinzinger as 'Pelosi Republicans' after they joined the Jan. 6 Select Committee. Does that include all Republicans who want nothing to do with the anti-democracy activities of the Red Party? poor little palooka... It’s comical to hear Cheney, of all people, being called a Pelosi Republican. Next they’ll say she’s moving to Berkeley. Better than being a trump Republican

The GOP reps Kevin McCarthy sees as 'Pelosi Republicans'.MaddowBlog: As far as Rep. McCarthy is concerned, Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney are 'Pelosi Republicans.' It serves as a reminder of the GOP's post-policy problem. MaddowBlog Republicans lost WH, & Congress in 2020 persuing their scorched earth derisive policies declaring 'if you ain't one of us, your the enemy'. Perhaps they hope to bully & browbeat majority of American voters into silence. So far, not working out for their poster boy & them so well. MaddowBlog That’s what you get for trying to sabotage the Commission! MaddowBlog Pathetic. I know this failure's career is over and I'm not in politics. Can't understand why this failure doesn't know it's over. Should resign before too long and save some dignity. God knows there is very, very little left.
