Sen. Josh Hawley R-Mo., slams Biden on recent comments about red states without mask mandates.<\/p>\n
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., slammed President Joe Biden’s criticism of “Neanderthal thinking” by red states who have dropped mask mandates, arguing it goes against Biden’s past calls for unity in the country. <\/p>\n
During a Thursday appearance on “Fox & Friends,” Hawley criticized Biden’s past rhetoric against people that disagree with him politically and urged the president to follow the science in regards to whether or not mask mandates are necessary at this point in the pandemic.<\/p>\n
“What a uniter Joe Biden is. You know this is Mr. Unity. And yet if you disagree with him, you’re a Neanderthal. This is a guy who\u2019s also called people who disagree with him Nazis. It is unbelievable,” said Hawley.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Hawley criticized Biden’s coronavirus stimulus bill for not putting a larger sum of money towards vaccine distribution while designating funds for things like “abortion providers” and “environmental justice.”<\/p>\n
President Biden took a swipe at Republican governors in Texas and Mississippi Wednesday, accusing them of “Neanderthal thinking” following their decision to reverse COVID safety policies, including mask mandates.<\/p>\n
“We’ve been able to move that all the way up to the end of May to have enough [vaccines] for every American, to get every adult American to get a shot,” Biden told reporters from the White House Wednesday. “The last thing we need is the Neanderthal thinking.”<\/p>\n
JOSH HAWLEY: “What a uniter Joe Biden is. You know this is Mr. Unity. And yet if you disagree with him you’re a Neanderthal. This is a guy who\u2019s also called people who disagree with him Nazis. It is unbelievable. In Missouri we\u2019re kind of used to this because we are called by the D.C. crowd ‘flyover country,’ so we’ve gotten this treatment for years but the truth is there’s nothing wrong with actually following the science and allowing people to make their own decisions. …<\/em><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/a57.foxnews.com\/cf-images.us-east-1.prod.boltdns.net\/v1\/static\/694940094001\/b785ed8e-104e-4cf4-a147-a54f7894f896\/17aae9a6-64f8-4fe0-a676-c618bf6284da\/1280x720\/match\/720\/405\/image.jpg?ve=1&tl=1\")
