If you thought the CDC put an end to the politicization of the mask with its new guidance for vaccinated people, think again. Today Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) says he was “bullied” by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s spokesman for wearing a mask. He responded with an expletive but explains he could have gone further.
Even though the CDC says vaccinated people don’t have to wear a mask (in most situations), there are still those who choose to keep the mask on. It’s a personal choice and may be based on a lot of factors.
Sadly, this notion is lost on some who continue to politicize wearing a mask. For instance, former pro-Trump communications strategist Caleb Hull seemed really upset to see the First Lady wearing a mask.
It won’t come as a surprise that Tucker Carlson also thinks those who have been vaccinated have no business wearing masks (note this remark was made before the CDC’s change in guidance).
