Star filmmaker and famous liberal activist, Michael Moore, drew heaps and bounds of criticism for his bold remarks recently.
Moore mentioned how he believed the state of Texas did not require the vaccine, right after the state’s governor lifted up the mask mandate recently. The star’s controversial remarks came in the form of a Tweet that faced immense backlash when he claimed, ” So you don’t need our precious vaccine.”
The news comes at a time when Texas Governor Greg Abbott lifted up both the state’s business restrictions as well as the mask rules too. While many view Moore as a liberal activist, they certainly weren’t expecting the documentary filmmaker to go to this severe extent on Twitter with his remarks.
Therefore, his words were condemned by many surrounding the political spectrum.
In the same way, Moore went on with his comments via a series of Tweets where he mentioned,” Texas- we hear you. And you didn’t want to be a part of the country’s electrical grid. And you have also removed your mask mandate too. In the same way, you’re also allowing big crowds to gather in one place.”
The filmmaker also bashed the state’s citizens by mentioning, “We hear you! COVID-19 is a hoax! And that is why you don’t need our precious vaccine.” Moore added how he believed the vaccine should be sent to all those who save lives by wearing masks.
Just this past week, Texas’s governor lifted up the pandemic restrictions on businesses as well as the rule that required the wearing of face masks in public.
The Republican governor of Mississippi also made a number of similar changes while the Democratic governor from Connecticut went on easing the business’s restrictions. However, he chose to maintain the state’s rule for mandatory wearing of face coverings.
Michael Moore’s comments drew a wave of backlash, even from those who had opposed the Texan Governor’s decisions.
