Kayleigh McEnany rips Biden's warning to unvaccinated Americans

The 'Outnumbered' co-host slammed the White House after it released a statement saying the unvaccinated face a 'winter of severe illness and death.'

PHOENIX, ARIZ – President Biden's response to the coronavirus has been geared towards control and vilifying the unvaccinated, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., told Fox News Digital on Monday.

Biggs' comments came after the White House offered a bold message Friday for unvaccinated Americans. 

"For the unvaccinated, you’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for yourselves, your families and the hospitals you may soon overwhelm," White House counselor to the president Jeffrey Zients said.

Asked about those comments, Biggs said: "It gets to the notion of what this has been about — and it's about control. Biden wants control. So, his minions, like Fauci was on saying from now on, you're going to have to wear a mask on the airplanes forever … This kind of outrageous conduct is a method to try to create an ‘other’ — to create people to hate, to create people to ostracize, that allows them to claim control."

"To me, it is immoral, it's disgusting, and it is absolutely sickening to me that the president of the United States would try to vilify people who are trying merely to exercise a health care choice," he continued.

President Biden is expected to address the nation on the coronavirus on Tuesday. In September, he told the unvaccinated: "We've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin."
