Malliotakis: People have had enough of the government overreach during the pandemic

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., on business owners gripping with New York City’s vaccine mandate.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., told "Fox & Friends" on Monday that many New Yorkers have had enough with the government overreach during the coronavirus pandemic and that there are Americans who are "concerned: about the implications on both federal and local levels. Malliotakis' comments came on the heels of Mayor Bill de Blasio's new vaccine mandate that hit the Big Apple Monday.

NICOLE MALLIOTAKIS: I think it’s very split, but there are people who have had enough of the overreach of government and they are concerned and it’s businesses, too. Look, we had a roundtable in Washington from industry leaders, particularly those in the transportation sector, that are saying that this is going to have a huge impact if the Biden administration’s vaccine mandate actually takes effect.
