The chairman of the Senate committee that oversees airlines and transportation policy was seen aboard a Delta Airlines flight last week with his mask dangling underneath his chin for extended periods, according to The Washington Post.

A photo showing Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker (R), who chairs the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, aboard a Thursday flight from Atlanta to Jackson, Miss. with his mask off was posted to Twitter by Democratic media consultant Matt Harringer.

“I’ve seen enough Republican senators test positive to tweet this photo,” Harringer wrote. “@SenatorWicker — because you refused to wear a mask on our @Delta flight last night, please let your fellow passengers know your status once you’ve been tested.”

The Post reports Harringer shared three time-stamped images — one at 8:37 p.m. while the plane was on the ground, one at 9:27 and one at 9:46 — showing the Republican lawmaker with his mask under his mouth or chin.

Bullshit.
It's October. No one "forgets" their mask anymore.
They leave it down deliberately.
He left it down deliberately.
As a "fuck you, try and make me."
