These States Push Back Against Ridiculous Mask Mandates

It’s high time that lawmakers in certain states stand up to the ridiculous and completely arbitrary rules that have been put into place during this pandemic.

Most of these orders have come from out-of-touch governors such as Gavin Newsom in California, Andrew Cuomo in New York, Gretchen Whitmer in Michigan, and Tom Wolf in Pennsylvania.

However, these nonsensical orders are in many more states and one group of legislators has taken the steps need to put an end to it.

The North Dakota House of Representatives passed a bill Monday that would “prohibit state and local officials, schools and businesses from mandating face masks.”

[Fauci] told CNN on Sunday that Americans may need to wear masks until next year and that he can’t predict when things in the U.S. will return to normal.

“You and the president have suggested that we’ll approach normality toward the end of the year. What does normal mean?” CNN’s Dana Bash asked. “Do you think Americans will still be wearing masks, for example, in 2022?”

“You know, I think it is possible that that’s the case,” Fauci said. “And again, it really depends on what you mean, by normality … because if normality means exactly the way things were before we had this happen to us, I mean, I can’t predict that.”

After being passed by a narrow margin in a 50—44 vote, the bill will go to the State Senate.

Republican North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum issued a statewide face coving mandate in place three months ago, but it reportedly expired in January. Before the mask mandate was enforced across the state, other cities and counties — including Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck — had already required masks in public.
