About the Ohio governor who said "face mask order went too far"....

posted yesterday at 10:41am.. by turbintree at above link

..It seems to me, that he wanted to please Trump/Pence, more than save lives of people in Ohio. Proof that he too is "stupid beyond stupid"..Perhaps he ought to listen to Governor Andrew Cuomo rather than Donald Trump..

How can anyone say something "so stupid" is beyond me. Just so you know, his name is Mike "stupid" DeWine.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) wrote that fear of contracting the coronavirus was an “emotional condition” and not a sufficient reason to request an absentee ballot...

.NO, I did not make these two up. Hit the links and check them out..I thought Trump was the only one that stupid, but there are more, a whole lot more.

...Every scientist around says "wear the masks." Where did he get De Wine get this information? Why say something like this publicly? I guess he also needs to learn to keep his mouth shut, like Trump.

for him to say such ridiculous statements and get away with it. The whole nation will find out in November.

He became governor on January 14, 2019. De Wine is sure when he runs again, no one will remember this stupid idiotic statement. But I will.

Were many reasons for Mike to change his order.

Deaf People can not hear, they read lips,people who have breathing problems. They were inundated with emails and calls. He still wants people to wear them and I will. But the clerks can not hear me.

I am not a DeWine backer but in this case he is keeping us safe. 8 deaths in my county,9 where my family lives.

He told the protesters to blame him, he was elected and made the decisions. He said he never mentions them but in this case not to bother Doctor Acton or her family.

... went to shit, like most Republicans, over this pandemic.

I was pleased when he shut down Ohio faster than most states, although there were some disappointments too — e.g., churches were allowed to still have gatherings. (Most churches chose to not congregate, thankfully, but there were some exceptions.)

I’d like to see more stores around here require masks for their customers (not just employees), but I think that’s more unusual than the churches choosing to not congregate.
