CONCORD -- Today’s anti-vax mob is Chris Sununu’s responsibility. New Hampshire saw right-wing protestors halt the work of state government today; the result of Chris Sununu’s support for anti-vaxxers and their agenda.

Sununu has supported the anti-vaxxer agenda, including signing a state law that ties the hands of local government and state agencies in their efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. He has opposed vaccine requirements to protect the elderly at nursing homes. And Sununu himself has even said the state’s role in fighting COVID-19 was over.

“Chris Sununu’s actions are directly responsible for today’s anti-vax mob at the Executive Council meeting. For months, Chris Sununu has criticized efforts to get more Granite Staters vaccinated and expressed support for anti-vaxxers and their agenda. At today’s Executive Council, Granite Staters saw the consequences of the Governor’s actions supporting the anti-vaxxers’ agenda,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “Governor Sununu needs to stop playing partisan politics and indulging far-right extremists and start putting public health first.”
