Trump said if the GOP wins Congress it should pass a law to rehire military service members discharged for refusing COVID-19 vaccine

If Republicans win back Congress this fall, they should pass a law to rehire military service members who were discharged over the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, said former President Donald Trump at a rally in Conroe, Texas, on Saturday.

Next year, a Republican Congress should pass a bill to rehir every single member of the military who was cruelly and wrongly terminated by Joe Biden, Trump said as the crowd cheered.

The vaccine requirement for service members was announced by the Biden administration. The Pentagon said in December that 98% of active-duty troops had been given the vaccine.

NPR reported that military branches began dismissing service members. The Marines, Air Force, and Navy have all discharged members. The vaccine has not been discharged by the Army.
