A few dozen people stood in the rain outside the Machinist union hall in Everett on Friday protesting the vaccine mandate Boeing announced this week.

John Mulhall started at Boeing 35 years ago, when he was 19, and he told 成人X站 Radio’s Nicole Jennings that he believes the vaccine mandate is unconstitutional.

“Joe Biden is a tyrant and this is incremental tyranny,” Mulhall said. “Everyone has a hill that they have to die on and I’m prepared to die on this hill because this is about freedom. This is about standing up to tyranny.”
