Newsmax told its staff Friday it intends to comply with the Biden administration’s company vaccine mandate, flying in the face of its daily programming attacking the mandate. Newsmax employees will have to either submit their vaccination card by Jan. 4 or undergo weekly testing, according to a notice obtained by Mediaite.
The announcement came the same day the conservative network sidelined Emerald Robinson.
In response to the company’s mandate, Newsmax host and former Trump adviser Steve Cortes tweeted on Friday that:
“I will not comply with any organization’s attempt to enforce Biden’s capricious and unscientific Medical Apartheid mandate. I will not be forced into the injection, nor will I disclose my vaccination status. No one should be pressured to choose between medical privacy and their job.”
I will not comply w/ any organization’s attempt to enforce Biden’s capricious & unscientific Medical Apartheid mandate.
I will not be forced into the injection, nor will I disclose my vaccination status.
No one should be pressured to choose between medical privacy & their job.

Media outlets such as The Blaze and Daily Wire have come out and announced their refusal as a company to enforce Biden’s vaccine mandate, but Newsmax talks the talks but doesn’t walk the walk when pressured.
