The Daily Beast CNN Anchor Rips GOP Lawmaker Suing Over Mask Mandates: 'You're Not a Doctor'
CNN anchor Brianna Keilar on Wednesday clashed with a Republican state lawmaker who is suing over mask mandates, eventually pointing out that he is not a public health expert while noting hes already had one case tossed out.
With coronavirus cases and hospitalizations spiking in Florida as the nation deals with a prolonged surge, Florida State Rep. Anthony Sabatini has attempted to challenge county ordinances in the state requiring face masks in businesses, claiming the mandates are constitutional violations.
Appearing on CNN Newsroom, Sabatini immediately justified his lawsuits, claiming the ordinances are unconstitutional and that mask mandates violate the privacy of citizens. Keilar, meanwhile, wondered aloud if the GOP lawmaker believed that seat belts are therefore also unconstitutional.
After he claimed the major difference is that seatbelt laws are only focused on very highly regulated areas of public domain, Sabatini went on to dispute that Florida was actually struggling with the virus, insisting that reporters have been too focused on rising cases.
