Gabbard is breaking up members of Congress for getting the COVID vaccine before the elderly

On Friday, New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Bronx) registered to receive the vaccine live on Instagram and encouraged millions of followers to ask questions.

“The heartless, arrogant and lawless CDC bureaucrats have decided that the lives of older Americans don’t matter,” Gabbard said.

“For months, the CDC has been telling us that the elderly are the most vulnerable. But now she recommends that 100 million so-called essential workers, which means that healthy people working in everything from liquor stores to phone companies, can get the vaccine before our grandparents can, ”she continued. .

Gabbard, 39, announced he was boycotting the vaccine until the most vulnerable received it and encouraged other young members of Congress to do the same.

“I planned to get the vaccine, but now I will be in solidarity with our elderly, without doing this until they can. I urge my colleagues in Congress who are under the age of 65 and are healthy to join me. “

Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz, 38, redistributed Gabbard, adding“I’m with you Tulsi!”
