The Culture of COVID?

For months, President Biden and his advisers believed they must avoid attacking GOP governors who were actively thwarting efforts to combat covid-19. Injecting “culture war” controversy into the covid response would further polarize it, driving GOP voters away from masking and vaccines.

Oh my goodness. That is one culture war they should have been salivating to wage. Make them defend being pro-COVID!

This position was fated to be unsustainable. Now the Biden administration is responding to that reality in a new way, by launching a fresh broadside against GOP governors who are blocking local mask mandates and vowing to use federal power to defend their victims.

No shit. Good. ATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK!
