politico reporters have declared “a new partisan divide over wearing of masks”, using an example/and picture of james clyburn at yesterday’s press conference as an example of how dutiful progressives wear masks like they’re supposed to

“For progressives, masks have become a sign that you take the pandemic seriously and are willing to make a personal sacrifice to save lives. Prominent people who don’t wear them are shamed and dragged on Twitter by lefty accounts.”

But, this video from the same press conference tells a different story, with clyburn and no mask in sight. Not even lowered. (Okay, he’s holding it in his hand) Is that effective??

As you can see, clyburn is standing close and breathing down the neck of the number 2 in line to the presidency, with no mask on. Exact same press conference, with two different pictures being painted by the lying media.

I look forward to clyburn being “shamed and dragged on twitter by lefty accounts”.

Any day now…

Hopefully…even sheople can wake up and see these shepherds for saying one thing but doing another when it comes to their very important selves? Their hypocrisy has been unmasked. :sunglasses:

Trump told people to wear masks but wouldn’t wear one himself.

His sheople reacted accordingly.

And aoc on the floor of the House with no mask at all.

Just a poorly written article with no basis in reality from an extremely biased reporter.

Did he? Can you post a link where he explicitly told everyone to wear a mask?

Once again… you didn’t read articles you posted. Especially the first one.

I did read it. They held up clyburn as a paragon of progressive mask wearing virtue, yet the video clearly shows him not wearing a mask and breathing down the neck of the 2nd in line to the presidency.

Maybe you don’t understand who james clyburn is. Hint: he’s the dude standing behind pelosi without a mask.

We get a steady diet of that these days unfortunately.

From the first article listed in the OP:

“With the masks, it is going to be a voluntary thing,” Trump said at a White House briefing on April 3. “You can do it. You don’t have to do it. I am choosing not to do it. It may be good. It is only a recommendation, voluntary.”

TDS…

read? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I did. How is he wrong. In that picture, Clyburne is not “wearing a mask”, he has a mask on and pulled it down. He might was well wad it up and put it in his pocket.

Yes, read.

We all know VP didn’t wear a mask because it would annoy POTUS. :us: :elephant:

The article isn’t about Clyb. It is speaking in generalities.

The Op cherry picked one picture to “prove” the article wrong.

It’s lazy.

Which it did.

How do you know that?

was clyburn meeting with people with confirmed cases of COVID-19?
