“It’s A Mistake”: WH Reacts To Texas Lifting Mask Mandates | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
Of course it is a small inconvenience to pay for the greater good of saving each others lives.
Oh yes
The almighty greater good
🙄🥱🥱
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The Texas Governor needs to own the deaths, economic and health crisis that will come from this new mandate.
All the deaths kn the US is because people like your are unhealthy and you think mask and pills work. When in reality you could just live a health life style. MSNBC IS TRASH.
@Shane Drew bro all the negative comments are from you. Quit buying your own oppression and breath some fresh air. I think those mask fried your brain🤣
@Crimdor you think your smart but your not.
@james wheeler – at least use the correct “you’re” when trying to insult somebodies intelligence.
@Foniks Monkee don’t care anymore, let people live if they want people that are scared take precautions simple as that.
Texas Governor Abbott is not concerned about Texas or Texans. He is only concerned about his shrinking base of supporters.
VOTE HIM OUT ASAP!
@Rino Ponce Tell that to overwork nurse and doctor
@mtronix I understand what you are saying and you are not a science denier. You are saying we should me masking and staying apart. I agree.
@Rino Ponce Oh, you have all the facts. Go ask Any doctor or nurse why don’t you.
Anita Bruton – Florida seems to be doing well compared to CA and NY
@Crimdor He cover up true number
The pro death party
Where are the Evangelicals this is the time to step in and advocate for pro-life. The fact that a few people want to expose themselves to death and IT’S THEIR RIGHT! It should not infringe on other people’s RIGHTS to want to stay alive.
Where are they hiding? A danger is looming. Are they still trying to call angels from Africa to come and save the situation?
So dumb
🎶 That’s Abbott 🎶
I think the tree that fell on him years ago, a branch hit his head and now the symptoms are showing. PTTD, post traumatic tree disorder.
I guess masks in Texas are terribly expensive….
NO, they just have incredibly stupid politicians.
ANYTHING to distract from the energy companies criminality!!!
Exactly
Excellent Point! I seriously think you nailed it, it is insane for this fool to come out with that insane edict now.
In the worst way possible, if a new strain forms in the coming months there and is able to bypass the vaccines, we know who’s balls we should be kicking. I mean we got the vaccines now and we are applying over 1 million each day to people, waiting a month longer could save so many lives and hardship easy and waiting until most of the vaccine work to be done can spare even more..
Good point, another reason to lock up Texas.. you dummies can’t even keep the power on.. our lights stayed on all through the coldest days in New England.. nice and warm inside.. plenty of water to.
Black Lives Matter , death penalty or life in prison for all republican Trump supporters traitors in the January 6 coup capital attack
And on second thought give Texas back to mexico
My thoughts, we have to do it by Noon today – STOP all travel from Texas.
Texans would probably not have a problem not being part of a dictatorship.
Same idiots were telling Texans that they should be willing to die for the economy while they fought science and common sense…. then a lot of Texans died…
@Joe Dementia Kid Smell if Cuomo is responsible for some covid deaths then Team Trump, the GOP, and Fox news are responsible for most of the rest…. w the help of thousands of mouth-breathing, ignorant, selfish, Trump worshippers.
@Ted Roe you need to seek some mental health, its open during covid19
@Jesus Chrysler oh Jesus Christ!! unbelievable to give a comment like this!!
mistakes are accidental….this is deliberate
Kinda like sending sick people to nursing homes
Not enough people died because of the power failures, now let the virus do its work.
People need to understand it, it’s not about them…
Don’t wanna get sick? Don’t go to places
Black Lives Matter , death penalty or life in prison for all republican Trump supporters traitors in the January 6 coup capital attack
He will sacrifice lives as a distraction.
Vasily, yet going on a solid year and you don’t know of a single healthy person anywhere that “died of covid” that was not already terminally ill.
So, tell us more about “sacrificing lives”?
If you weren’t watching fake news all day, you would have no remote clue that there ever was any kind of “pandemic” at all.
They’re just trying to cover up for the rich
Abbott tried this before and it was a disaster for both the public and front-line workers. The man simply does not learn from his mistakes, nor is he teachable.
He wants cheap political points at everyone’s expense.
God should have taken more than just his legs.
Get the meat trucks and bags ready for texas
“We’re almost safe.”
Abbott: “Good enough for me.”
It’s NOT a mistake; it’s on purpose.
You are very kind to say “Mistake”. Because in reality “It’s a Crime”: Lots of people will die = Mass Murder
I feel sorry for the health professionals in Texas. This is insanity!
