Am I allowed to use a street term to describe Mr Carroll? Well here it is…Dumb Ass..
Tread carefully! Just about anything can be construed as threatening!

His statements that violent threats caused him to drop his bill seems to be a Jussie Smollet. More likely, he was informed of the stupidity of his bill. Making the non vaccinated pay their own medical bills? How about smokers paying theirs? Or athletes voluntarily playing dangerous sports? Or the obese paying for their high b.p. or diabetic drugs? He obviously didn’t think this through and jumped on the condemn the unvaccinated bandwagon. “Violent threats” and “antiSemitism” claims are just a way to save face. (Who knew he was Jewish and what did that have to do with anything?)
You are probably spot on – and what the heck does religion have to do with it?
We have an obsession with victimhood.
