Rapid Fire News - Week of July 17, 2021 [TRANSCRIPT]

These days the news can come at you as fast as the Covid 19 Delta variant is sweeping the nation. Well I am here to shout it at you even faster. This is “Rapid Fire News”.

First! Texas Governor Greg Abbot has ordered the arrests of all House Democrats who recently fled the state in order to halt the voter suppression bill put forth by the GOP. You gotta love the GOP’s new default of arresting one's political opponents. Next!

Runner Sha’Carri Richardson was recently banned from competing in the 2021 Olympics after she tested positive for using cannabis. Ah yes. Cannabis. The best performance enhancing drug. If that performance is binge watching rick and morty and eating a plate of pizza rolls. Next!

Despite the goal set forth by President Joe Biden, the United States did not reach the 70% vaccination rate by the Fourth of July. In a related story, 99.7% of people who died in May of COVID-19 were unvaccinated. That’s not a joke. Covid is real. Get your goddamn shot.

This has been “Rapid Fire News”.
