"For weeks, Mississippi politicians flouted mask recommendations inside the state Capitol. Twenty-six state legislators have now tested positive for Covid-, including Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann and State House Speaker Philip Gunn. Neither man wore a mask at a bill signing at the governor's mansion last week.
"We could have done more to prevent this," State Rep. Robert Johnson III, the Democratic leader of the state's House of Representatives, said in a statement to CNN.
"It seems it was all about some erroneous, dangerously promoted political stance. It's disgusting. Our governor refuses to order statewide mask requirements and our leadership decided not to require it at the Capitol."
They brought it on themselves. Natural selection at work.
Hopefully all of them will succumb to the illness and die off. It's truthfully what we need to happen to clean up this Country. There are way to many of these idiot repubs in positions of power all over the Country.
A nickel says tests will show that politicians are healthier than the average adult. Oh hell, make that a dime.
I always say, better safe than sorry... Or in this case, stupid..
