And their low level of intelligence

Arkansas Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson said the state's conservative leanings account for lower COVID-19 vaccination rates, and that it's "disappointing" that politics play a role in whether or not people get inoculated.

During an interview on the show Full Court Press With Greta Van Susteren slated to broadcast on Sunday,Hutchinson said that Arkansas's conservative viewpoints can explain the state's low vaccination rates.

"Why is our vaccination rate lower? We're a very rural state. We have a lot of resistance. It's a conservative state. Sometimes conservatives are hesitant about the government, and we've just got to counteract that by getting better information to them, building confidence," Hutchinson said during the interview.

"I've learned that it's not what the government tells you, it's what your trusted advisor, your medical doctor, or somebody that you trust tells you. And that's the best persuasive technique we can use to change those attitudes," he added.

5. State's gullibility where GQP propaganda is concerned is the real issue

You led the parade. Now you wanna pretend you were reluctantly swept up in the "Boobus Americanus" mob. Right. Gotcha.

Guess the conservatives are trying to do their part for the funeral industry.
