Silly edict

Let me get this straight: Some Republicans have been insisting that any mask requirement violated their rights as a citizen. And now, the Republican governor of Texas is trying to ban any wearing of a mask in the state of Texas. Does this ring anyone’s bell as illogical?

Texas should be prepared for one hell of a civil suit the first time officials try to enforce such a rule and discover that the person wearing the mask was doing so for a legitimate medical reason.

I believe that any future political aspirations on the part of the Texas governor are slipping away with these silly types of actions.
