New Hampshire state Rep. William Marsh said he quit the Republican Party to protest the state GOP’s COVID-19 vaccine policies, slamming them as “a bridge too far.”“I can’t sit by in silence,” Marsh, an ophthalmologist, told CNN’s Erin Burnett. The New Hampshire state GOP’s push to ban businesses from mandating vaccinations for staff and customers, and schools from mandating masks, prompted Marsh’s jump to the Democratic Party, he said. “We all know what’s happened in states that have followed that path,” warned Marsh of the GOP’s agenda. - NH State Rep.
