Yahoo Finance Jim Jordan Asked A Snarky Question About Masks And Twitter Users Did Not Hold Back
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) received a series of stinging rebukes for his latest attempt at politicizing coronavirus pandemic public health precautions.
“How many masks are we supposed to wear this week?” Jordan, a Donald Trump sycophant, snarkily asked on Twitter Monday.
How many masks are we supposed to wear this week?

It followed the Ohio Republican’s viral rant last week at Dr. Anthony Fauci, the country’s top infectious diseases expert, against government restrictions aimed at slowing the spread of the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention encourages people to wear masks “in public settings and when around people who don’t live in their household.” Two masks are better than one, it advises.
Many critics reminded Jordan of the guidance ― and of the 567,000 Americans who have died from COVID-19:

You could be part of the Solution, but instead you choose to be part of the problem. The "liberties/freedoms" you were recently screaming about that have been "removed", would be quickly restored if everyone wore masks and got vaccinated.

I’m sure the family members of your deceased constituents love to see you mocking a disease that’s killed 560,000 fellow Americans. You keep doing you though.

How about following the advice of scientists and physicians?

One day some youngster will ask you how you helped in the terrible Covid pandemic of 2020 and 2021. You will be able to say that I sat on the sidelines and made fun of the people that tried to save our lives and I made sure I voted to stop helping the people financially burdened.
