TKC MUST SEE!!! KANSAS CITY MAYOR QUINTON LUCAS SPARKS DEBATE OVER 'NEED' TO WEAR MASKS AMID RISING CORONAVIRUS REOPEN CONFUSION!!!
A late evening social media message from Mayor Lucas sparked surprising push back from fans and followers.
Here's the local connection to a cultural war over coronavirus masks and what's probably a not so subtle rebuke of the President's refusal to wear a face covering for news cameras.
Mayor Quinton Lucas tweeted: "Politicians need to wear masks too! Proud of the recent work @kcmohealthdept has been doing to support pop-up testing throughout our community. Thank you!"
To be fair, the Mayor earned plenty of support but right now these comments stand out more than most . . .
Opt-in reaction . . .
*Choice* we do not need to. Those masks do absolutely nothing.
Efficacy argument . . .
"Again, the virtue signaling regarding the usage of a mask has grown to a fever a pitch the last several days. However, please be aware of CDC guidelines concerning mask usage. Surgical masks and homemade masks do not offer adequate protection."
Accolades for leadership by example . . .
"Thank you Mayor for being a leader during this crisis. Apparently not all elected officials are up to the task."
Watchful local contradiction . . .
You forgot to wear one during your press conference ...#JustSayin
More importantly and still causing debate and contradictory mandates . . .
