From July 24th to 28th, there were four COVID deaths and 11 homicides.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain went on to address the return to mask mandates, adding, \u201cWe were told we wouldn\u2019t have to wear masks and, yes, I guess the data is changing and we\u2019re told we have to wear them including inside here in Washington, D.C., and there\u2019s very little \u2014 I have very little hope we\u2019re going to be pulling out of this. I think there\u2019s just going to be more variants and more variants and more variants and unfortunately, this is the new normal. And until we get new leadership in the White House, I don\u2019t have hopes this is ever going to end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain argued that if Democrats \u2014 particularly the Biden administration \u2014 wanted to make getting vaccinated a bipartisan issue that was about making sure people were safe rather than denying Trump the credit, they would have given him some recognition for the speed with which three safe and effective vaccines were developed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should give a little credit to President Trump, and it\u2019s hard for me to say that because I don\u2019t like President Trump, but Fast and Furious did work,\u201d she said, clearly meaning Operation Warp Speed. \u201cAnd when Jen Psaki is asked about it, she\u2019s very cavalier and, quite frankly, snarky saying \u2018we don\u2019t need to give him an engraved invitation.\u2019 At this point, if it\u2019s this serious that we\u2019re going to lock down the country and masking everyone including, by the way, 2-year-olds, you should invite President Trump someone in Trumpland to help get the messaging out because until then we\u2019re all being held hostage until this maybe never passes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McCain\u2019s co-hosts argued that Trump should go out and tell people to get the vaccine without being asked by the Biden administration. \u201cNobody\u2019s gagging him,\u201d Behar said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be nice to see a bipartisan push formally together,\u201d McCain concluded. \u201cIt\u2019s just never going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump did <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/16\/trump-urges-americans-coronavirus-vaccine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recommend the vaccine<\/a> during a Fox News interview in March, saying, \u201cI would recommend it. And I would recommend it to a lot of people who don\u2019t want to get it and a lot of those people voted for me, frankly \u2026&nbsp;But again, we have our freedoms and we have to live by that and I agree with that also.
