"The mom fighting back against her children’s lost education when schools were shut down and held hostage by teachers unions. The mom standing up for personal medical freedom and the right to determine her family’s healthcare decisions. The mom outraged with Democrat politicians who want to mask her 2-year-old, but won't hold illegal immigrants at the southern border to the same standard. The mom who has had to leave the workforce because of asinine COVID policies forcing disruptive school and daycare schedules. The mom who has just had enough. Count me in as one of those angry mama bears."
