Monday, U.S. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Tuscaloosa) revealed he had joined an effort challenging President Joe Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate.
State Sen. Arthur Orr (R-Decatur) questioned Shelby’s position on opposing the mandate days earlier. However, in a tweet, Shelby explained he had indeed joined the effort of Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN).
“Last week I proudly joined @SenatorBraun and other @SenateGOP colleagues in officially challenging President Biden’s vaccine mandate under the Congressional Review Act,” he tweeted. “This mandate violates our constitutional liberties and is federal overreach at its finest.”
“While I urge people to consult with their doctor about getting vaccinated, I believe our individual freedoms and rights are of the utmost importance,” he added in an additional tweet.
