    Jeet Heer Retweeted Mollie

    Hemingway is doing with Carlson what she used to do with Trump: take a false/unhinged/threatening statement & translate it into something much milder. Carlson said to call the parents with kids who wear masks. Hemingway's schtick is apologia.https://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1386843596180054018 …

    Given how anti-science outside masking is, Tucker says people should politely say, "Would you please take off your mask? Science shows there's no reason for you to be wearing it. Your mask is making me uncomfortable." (I usually just say "Uh, that dude's wearing a mask outside."

        Pretend politeness aside, how about WTF is wrong with you if you think it is OK to tell people to stop wearing a small piece of cloth on their face. Where has all the freedom lovin gone for these hollow contrarians?

        There isn't even a scientific consensus on outdoor masking, other than that it's generally a lot less important than indoor masking.

        There is something deeply unhinged in America when a slice of the population actively promotes people putting their lives at risk because the protective measures they are taking 'trigger' others. A face mask in a pandemic is a public health measure. Period.

        Jeet why don't you take some time off and read lots more Cold War History. Current event's aren't. Just more corporate programming.

        They can be offended by someone’s mask, but we can’t be offended by their openly carrying an assault rifle.

        Someone’s gotta launder the crazy right wing talking points into a form that the “respectable” journalists can both sides to their heart’s content, and she’ll be damned if someone else beats her to it.

        I get to choose how much risk I endure, not you. If I want to wear a mask outside I will. It is my right to do so. It is not your right to make me take it off so you can be "comfortable".

        It’s the pandemic equivalent of Lumberg from office space: ‘It would be great if you could just take off that mask; some folks in the park are a bit... about it.’
