Ep 336 | Democrats' Lockdowns Do More Harm Than Good

Across America, people are seeing Democrat leaders impose strict COVID-19 regulations, then completely ignore those rules themselves. Unsurprisingly, people are fed up with it and expressing their frustration through protests. Politicians like Nancy Pelosi have repeatedly played politics with the virus, to the detriment of millions. Teachers' unions are also getting in on the act, encouraging teachers to call in sick to prevent schools from reopening, despite the science suggesting that it's safe to do so.
