Whitman: Republicans Have Blood on Their Hands — ‘This is Darwinism’

Pam Key 26 Jul 2021

Former Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ) said Sunday night on MSNBC’s “The Mehdi Hasan Show” that Republican leaders had blood on their hands over how they have managed the coronavirus pandemic.

Hasan said, “You have GOP governors like DeSantis and Abbott who have allowed COVID to run rampant in their states. You have Sarah Huckabee Sanders running for governor of Arkansas and saying stuff like this.”

In a video, Huckabee Sanders said, “If I am elected governor in Arkansas, we will not have mask mandates, we will not have mandates on the vaccine and shut down churches and schools and other large gatherings because we believe in freedom and self-responsibility.”

He asked, “I’m sorry I have to ask, do these Republican governors and wannabe governors have blood on their hands?”

Whitman said, “Well, they do. In one way, you could say this is Darwinism.”

She continued, “Over 99% of those that died in the recent outbreak were unvaccinated, and they were in the Red states. In these Republican states where the governors and the leaders have been poo-pooing the vaccine, have been calling out Dr. Fauci saying he should be taken out, nobody should listen to him, and these vaccines are somehow bad for you. The best analogy I’ve heard is it’s a bit like being on the Titanic and having been offered a life vest as the boat goes down and having them refuse to take them. I mean, it’s mind-boggling.”

Why would Whitless even try to understand what free thinking people are like in the red states.  She just trys to demonize them.

Another ignorant RINO self-exposes. At least she's taken herself out of the Rs' political gene pool.

Here's an analogy she might understand. Expecting a mask to stop the china plague is like expecting a screen door to stop a sand storm.

Covid deaths per 1 million population

New Jersey - 2,992
Florida - 1,800

So Lockdown New Jersey has had 66% more deaths per population than Free Florida.

Meh. An entire industry has sprung up around has-been media figures and politicians saying really stupid things. Really stupid, untrue things.

As Mankind matured over millennia, he embraced core principles that encouraged him to create and innovate,
thereby bettering both his material condition as well as his spiritual awareness.
Rights (freedom), while a catalyst for ideas, were always linked to responsibilities; thereby establishing
behavioral norms that restrained selfish impulses from Eden till the Enlightenment.
Then all changed as the Radical French insisted Liberte' was paramount and the higher calling necessary
to fundamentally better the condition of Mankind.
Consequently, Man has been paying the price for that sea change in attitude and behavior, ever since.
Reflect on the Covid-19 Pandemic, a moment.
The disease, spread across the globe, has been countered by assorted vaccinations w/varying effectiveness.
Yet significant minorities refuse to be vaccinated, insisting that their Right of Refusal supersedes any
Responsibility to participate in the control/eradication of this deadly disease.
Mankind will reap what he sows.

New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois all have a higher death rate from COVID than Texas (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/).

New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, ... (https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109011/coronavirus-covid19-death-rates-us-by-state/).

Those four states, all Deep Blue, are the deadliest in the US. Bogey-States Texas and Florida are 24th and 26th on that list.
