Former President Donald Trump responded to the growing efforts to reinstate COVID-19 restrictions, including mask mandates and lockdowns, declaring, “We will not comply.”
Trump’s remarks came amid reports from establishment media outlets of new variants of COVID-19.
In a video to Truth Social, Trump said “left-wing lunatics” are employing scare tactics to set the stage for new restrictions.
Trump claimed the true motive behind this was to influence the upcoming 2024 election and “restart the COVID hysteria,” similar to 2020.
Trump said:
“The left-wing lunatics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fear-mongering about the new variants that are coming.
Gee whiz, you know what else is coming? An election. They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal dropboxes, more mail-in ballots, and trillions of dollars in payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election. Does that sound familiar?
These are bad people. These are sick people we’re dealing with. But to every COVID tyrant who wants to take away our freedom, hear these words: WE WILL NOT COMPLY, so don’t even think about it.
We will not shut down our schools. We will not accept your lockdowns. We will not abide by your mask mandates, and we will not tolerate your vaccine mandates.
They rigged the 2020 election, and now they’re trying to do the same thing all over again. By rigging the most important election in the history of our country, the 2024 election, even if it means trying to bring back COVID. But they will fail because we will not let it happen.
When I’m back in the White House, I will use every available authority to cut federal funding to any school, college, airline, or public transportation system that imposes a mask mandate or a vaccine mandate.”
Watch
Earlier this month, the Daily Fetched first reported that the Biden administration was preparing to enforce full COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions beginning as early as mid-September, according to TSA and border patrol whistleblowers.
A “high level” TSA official told Infowars that they were informed during Tuesday’s meeting of new memorandums and policies to start restricting, including mask wearing.
The policies would reinstate the mask mandate for TSA and airport employees next month.
Furthermore, the TSA whistleblower claimed that mask-wearing would be mandated for pilots, passengers, crew, and all airport patrons, and COVID-19 lockdowns would also be implemented in September.
Infowars reached out to a trusted Border Patrol source, who also confirmed measures were being planned for Border Patrol personnel.
“They were told it was not a matter of “if” but “when” official Covid numbers will go back up and they expect by mid-October a return to forced-masking policies that the Biden administration previously only reluctantly ended after massive pressure,” Infowars reported.
The news came the same day the Daily Mail reported that a heavily mutated Covid variant dubbed the ‘real deal’ is already in the UK. Virus-tracking researchers detected the Omicron spin-off – nicknamed Pirola but also known scientifically as BA.X/BA.2.86 – in a patient hospitalized in London.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization classified the EG.5 coronavirus strain circulating in the US and China as a “variant of interest.” Still, it stressed it did not seem to pose more of a threat to public health.
