Hume: White House urging vax mandate in violation of court stay is 'political dynamite'

Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume called the White House's ignorance of a federal appellate court "political dynamite" on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

Hume was responding to comments made by White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who told reporters during a briefing, "People should not wait … They should continue to move forward and make sure they’re getting their workplace vaccinated."

The request, filed Monday, comes after the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a group of businesses to halt the order, citing "grave statutory and constitutional issues." The ruling put the mandate on hold until pending litigation could be heard.

OSHA falls under the auspices of the Labor Department, which is led by former Boston Mayor Martin Walsh.
