Republican governors slam CDC for updated mask requirement: 'Not grounded in reality'
Fox News
Republican governors from Iowa, Texas, Florida and others slammed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's new guidance.
"Governor Abbott has been clear that the time for government mandating of masks is over — now is the time for personal responsibility," a spokeswoman for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement to Fox News. "Every Texan has the right to choose whether they will wear a mask, or have their children wear masks." "Vaccines are the most effective defense against contracting COVID and becoming seriously ill, and we continue to urge all eligible Texans to get the vaccine. The COVID vaccine will always remain voluntary and never forced in Texas," the spokeswoman added.More Related News
