"Their constituents are dying!"

Speaking nearly in an exasperated fashion, Reiner appeared nonplussed at the fact that many Republican politicians simply are not urging their own voters to get vaccinated, lest they “irritate” them:

What kind of a message does that send to their constituents? What we need is both houses of Congress on both sides of the aisle to come together and say, ‘This is a war and we need a wartime footing.’ And every member of Congress should be telling their constituents, ‘You have to go get vaccinated,’ and show them their vaccine card. And tell their constituents that, ‘If you’ve been vaccinated, now you need to get boosted.’

This is how we get to the other side. But yet, only one side of the chorus is singing right now. Look, Republican politicians somehow believe that this whole notion of vaccination is offensive to their constituents so they don’t want to irritate them. But their constituents are dying! The data from Hopkins, the CNN analysis, shows you are much more likely to die now of Covid if you live in a red state than if you live in a blue state. And it’s solely attributable to this gigantic gap in vaccination.
