Tucker Carlson and Congressman’s Unvaccinated Wife, Erika Donalds, Demand ‘Right’ to Flout White House Rules
Tucker Carlson and Erika Donalds, the wife of Florida Republican congressman Byron Donalds, spent Wednesday night complaining about the regulations for an upcoming White House invitation-only reception for his wife/ husbands of members of Congress chaired by First Lady Jill Biden.
Donalds, who is unvaccinated, claims that she can exercise her “freedom” and “right” to do certain things that the White House prohibits from unvaccinated people — namely, eat, drink, take off your mask, and get closer than six feet from others, according to Screenshots about the invitation Donalds posted on Twitter Tuesday. This event also requires a negative COVID test first.
“When I saw those COVID protocols, I definitely had to rethink whether I wanted to attend and promote my freedom to live like a free person and exercise my right to eat at a meal. receptions like the others or not, though not. Donalds said. She said she learned about the protocols after having RSVP’d and planning travel.
Carlson agreed and offered a suggestion to the Donalds.
The Fox News host said: “Well, maybe you can do that too. “May you show up, as do your rights as an American. By the way, they don’t own the White House. They cannot make rules. And just hit the aperitif table, and have 11 glasses of champagne, put your arm around Dr. Jill and breathe her. I’m serious. Did that happen to you? “
“Yeah, I’ve really been thinking about going and just operating as a free person like I feel I can,” Donalds replied, adding that she wasn’t sure the rules would be as enforced. how.
“Will they give us a bright red letter, some kind of yellow star to let people know not to talk to us and to keep the servers from serving us?” Donalds wondered. “I can’t imagine how they would enforce such a ridiculous rule.”
At another point in the interview, the congressional spouse stated that because she had previously contracted COVID she had natural immunity and therefore did not need to be vaccinated. Similarly, Carlson asserts that recovery from COVID “seems to be more enduring immunity to future infection than in vaccinated individuals”.
CDC, however, Advise that “you should get vaccinated even if you already have COVID-19.”
