Asa Hutchinson is backing employers COVID-19 vaccine mandates.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Sunday, Hutchinson said he opposed mandates from the federal government, but defended employers mandating workers. He said employers are in a tough position and they have the right to make those decisions.<\/p>\n<p>The governor has consistently come under immense scrutiny by Republicans for promoting vaccine mandates and calling President Trump\u2019s comments on the 2020 election \u201cnot constructive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s talk about the future. The election has passed, it\u2019s been certified. The state\u2019s made decisions on the integrity of each of their elections. They made improvements where need be. It\u2019s about the future, it\u2019s not about the last election,\u201d said Hutchinson.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WATCH: Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AsaHutchinson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@AsaHutchinson<\/a> (R-Ark.) says the anti-mandate argument isn&#8217;t &#8220;practical&#8221; or &#8220;principled.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MTP?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MTP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a defender of the employer&#8217;s right to provide a healthy workplace.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ks8UIY43tC\">pic.twitter.com\/ks8UIY43tC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MeetThePress\/status\/1449729134104559624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 17, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The governor went on to say Republicans will win in 2022 by focusing on the important issues of the supply chain and getting past the pandemic.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/transportation-secretary-buttigieg-supply-chain-issues-will-continue-into-2022\/\">Transportation Secy.
