New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) failed to garner a single supporting vote from the four Republicans who make up the state’s five-member Executive Council in his bid for $27 million in funding to promote the CCP virus vaccine in the Granite State.
The only supporting vote came from the sole Democrat who serves on the council.
Republican Councilor Dave Wheeler, who has been a supporter of Sununu on other issues, raised the question of acquired natural immunity in his dissent to the funding bill to promote the COVID-19 shot.
“We talk about science all the time, but we ignore the fact that people have natural immunity from already having COVID,” Wheeler said.
Sununu was quick to respond.
“The vote showed a reckless disregard for the lives we are losing while they turn away the tools our state needs to fight and win this battle against COVID,” the governor said. Sununu charged that the concerns voiced by opponents to the funding initiative were “based on fantasy.”
Sununu was also taken to task by executive councilors for not following suit with other Republican governors who have outlawed the use of vaccine mandates to deny employment.
In 2018, Sununu signed a state law banning discrimination based on gender identity including in the workplace. Sununu remarked at the time that “Discrimination–in any form–is unacceptable and runs contrary to New Hampshire’s Live Free or Die Spirit.”
During the meeting, nine people in the audience were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct including a mother holding a young child, her husband, and a 70-year old woman from Nashua who was charged with resisting arrest. A video of the arrest posted on Facebook shows she was sitting when state police approached her and forcibly led her away. People in the background can be heard yelling “fascists” at the NH troopers while others around the room can be heard shouting “they weren’t doing anything wrong.”
Terese Grinnell, a registered nurse and also among those arrested at Wednesday’s meeting, believes Sununu is trying to backdoor his way into creating a means to trace residents who are not vaccinated. The governor’s proposal includes $10 million for a digital database of each COVID-19 vaccination administered in the state.
“Goliath fell with a stone,” said Grinnell, “we have to keep just doing what’s right, keep showing up and coming together and deciding what we the people we want for our children and being tenacious about that.”
Bussiere has been a lead organizer against COVID-19 mandates in New Hampshire.
The NH Executive Council was slated to take a vote on Sununu’s $27 million proposal earlier in the month. However, a well-attended protest Bussiere and others organized in opposition to the funding along with mask mandates prompted the council to cancel the meeting last minute.
Next time don’t elect a Bush Leaguer.
He should get a real job.
Simple words. Simple meaning.
$27 million is about $35-$40 for each unvaccinated person in the state.
You’d rather have had the democrat win?
I am totally at odds with Sununu on this, but he has done some other really great things.
I need to talk to mr. mm about writing him.
If we had a democrat governor, we would be in FAR worse shape than we are now.
Overqualified for a janitor and under qualified for anything else.
See my tagline.
This guy is out to lunch. He must take a flashlight with him to go pee at night if he is this scared of covid.
This story is a great find.
We need victories like this at the state level.
We need more people like Terese Grinnell! What a hero:

Sununu went rino and got called on it.

I was about to post the exact same thing.
No, elect a real Republican.
Bush League Republicans are Assistant Democrats, we do not have to choose between Democrat or Assistant Democrat, we can elect real Republicans.
The video of this meeting was posted yesterday. The state troopers were lording over the meeting like something you would expect to see in Soviet Russia. I’m not kidding. Then they seemed to be arresting people at random. The video showed the the people arrested weren’t doing anything. It was one of the most disturbing videos of this type I have seen.

There weren’t any running.
We only had so much choice.
That is very disturbing for NH state police to be behaving like that.
