Yes, the super woke GOP is once again looking out for Black Americans. They always have our best interests at heart, just like the alien Kanamits in the "To Serve Man" episode of "The Twilight Zone.”

Effective Saturday, Washington, DC, requires that bars, restaurants, gyms, and other businesses ask patrons for proof of vaccination prior to entry. This mandate isn’t unique. New York City, Seattle, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, and even New Orleans have similar policies.

However, DC is the Chocolate City, so Republicans are crying “racism!” Yes, the super woke GOP is once again looking out for Black Americans. They always have our best interests at heart, just like the alien Kanamits in the "To Serve Man" episode of "The Twilight Zone.”

The GOP’s official Twitter account declared Sunday, "The DC vaccine mandate went into effect this weekend. This mandate disproportionately hurts minority communities in DC. No vaccine mandate!"

Republican National Committee chair and Mitt Romney’s secret niece Ronna McDaniel tweeted this nonsense.

DC just enacted a vaccine mandate that effectively bans over 50% of Black residents from entering a restaurant, bar, or movie theater. Biden supports mandates like this, yet he’s the one baselessly accusing others of “Jim Crow 2.0.”

McDaniel’s use of “effectively” is doing a lot of work here. It’s like claiming my high school performance as Macbeth was “effectively” as good as Denzel Washington’s.

Heh! I like it. Yes, Ronna, everyone's getting hip to the fact that vaccine mandates are in place solely to hurt people.
