Biden Refers to GOP Governors As Neanderthals for Ending Mask Mandate In Their States
Didn’t Orwell write in “1984” about people being forced to wear masks so everybody would be deemed equal, meaning nobody could be called good looking or ugly?
Has anybody made this comparison yet? Food for thought.
Anyway, another Republican governor is finally doing the right thing.
From Breitbart:
Alabama will become one of the next states to eliminate a government-imposed mandate that requires people wear masks in public, sources close to the matter told Breitbart News.
A source familiar with state deliberations confirmed that as soon as Friday but definitely in the coming days. Alabama will join several other states nationwide in removing its mandate requiring masks in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
I urge Gov. Kay Ivey to immediately lift the statewide mask mandate and allow citizens and local officials the liberty to make the decisions that best fit their circumstances.

Check out Biden’s response…
NEW: President Biden calls Texas and Mississippi decisions to end mask mandates “a big mistake" and criticizes what he views as “Neanderthal thinking” after CDC warned against complacency in the face of emerging coronavirus variants on Monday. pic.twitter.com/Mmdln3gNG6

The governor of Mississippi fired back…
President Biden said allowing Mississippians to decide how to protect themselves is “neanderthal thinking.”
Mississippians don’t need handlers. As numbers drop, they can assess their choices and listen to experts. I guess I just think we should trust Americans, not insult them.

And so did Texas Governor Abbott…
The Biden Administration is recklessly releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants who have COVID into Texas communities.
The Biden Admin. must IMMEDIATELY end this callous act that exposes Texans & Americans to COVID.

As you’d expect, Democrats aren’t pleased. The problem is that they truly believe 10,000 Alabamians have died from COVID.
It’s not true.
People are assigned COVID.
Today AL reaches the grim milestone of 10,000 deaths from COVID-19– now is not the time to let our guard down.
Our mask mandate is a small part of keeping Alabamians safe. We urge @GovernorKayIvey to follow CDC guidelines & not let the mandate expire. https://t.co/wTJL4UX4lt
