“The View” host Meghan McCain on Tuesday claimed that Democrats and Republicans are “equally responsible” for the growing hesitancy among Republicans to get a COVID-19 vaccine, drawing a tenuous link to comments last year from Vice President Kamala Harris to make her point.
Recent polls have shown that a large portion of conservatives are resistant to being vaccinated, particularly supporters of former President Donald Trump. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 42% of Republicans say they won’t get the shot.

Late-night host sums up GOP obstructionism with a scathing hypothetical.
Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday pointed out that zero Republicans in either the House or Senate voted for the coronavirus relief package despite 70% support among the American public.
“The only other Bill 70% of Americans support is Murray,” he said. “It’s very rare to have that, but Republicans in Congress can’t support it because Democrats in Congress do support it.”
