Early last month, Texas governor Greg Abbott announced he would end the state’s mask mandate and allow most businesses to function at 100 percent capacity.
The response from the corporate media and the Left was predictable. California governor Gavin Newsom declared the move “absolutely reckless.†Beto O’Rourke called the GOP a “cult of death.†Joe Biden called the move “Neanderthal thinking.†Keith Olbermann insisted, “Texas has decided to join the side of the virus†and suggested Texans shouldn’t be allowed to take the covid vaccine. Vanity Fair ran an article with the title “Republican Governors Celebrate COVID Anniversary with Bold Plan to Kill Another 500,000 Americans.â€
Other states have followed in Texas’s wake, and Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia are now all states where covid restrictions range from weak to nonexistent.
