Randi Weingarten asks MSNBC's Ruhle not to 'roll' her eyes about NY teacher vaccinations
Fox News
American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten had a curt exchange with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle on Wednesday after the host asked why some New York City teachers oppose mandatory vaccinations.
"Number one, in New York schools were open virtually all of last year, one of our locals, what they actually said was that we should have vaccines or testing, and they supported vaccines," Weingarten said as she began her response. The first claim was immediately questioned by critics. Weingarten then insisted that the national union is deep in preparation for the fall. She said they're "doing everything we can to get kids back to school this September." Weingarten also noted that the union has been "supporting getting vaccines" since they were authorized and about 90 percent of their members have received the shots.More Related News
