Gov. Brian Kemp suggested Biden is at fault for Georgia's COVID-19 vaccination rate, which remains

one of the lowest in the US

GOP Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia on Thursday attempted to shift blame to President Joe Biden for the state's low COVID-19 vaccination rate as the highly-infectious Delta variant continues to spread, according to The Associated Press.

While speaking to reporters, Kemp said that Biden needed to push harder to allow the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to upgrade its emergency use authorization for the COVID-19 vaccines to full approval.

Kemp, who won his first race for governor in 2018, also stated that asking people to wear masks once again sends a "mixed message" and might cause people not to take the vaccine.

He encouraged Georgians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and said he would look into other solutions if hospitals in the state became overwhelmed with patients.

Only 38% of Georgia's total population is fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

So much for the party of personal responsibility. You're the governor. What did you think your job entailed? Sitting on the veranda sipping mint juleps and reminiscing about the good old days?

.... urging vaccinations from before they took office. BTW having 20 million doses disappear as Trump
was leaving office (Jared?) slowed things up a little bit too. Jill was just in TN promoting the vaccines.
