No Masks Allowed In Republican Photo Ops

https://blogforiowa.com/2020/05/11/no-masks-allowed-in-republican-photo-ops/

Ron Cameron of Mountaire Farms, Ken Sullivan of Smithfield Foods, Rodney McMullen of Kroger, Noel White of Tyson Foods and Zippy Duvall, the president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, were asked to remove their masks before a meeting with Mike Pence in Iowa on Friday.

And they all obeyed. Can’t help but wonder what would have happened if one or all of them had just kept their mask on. It is apparently extremely important to the Trump administration that there be no photo ops with masks on.



ETA - that hardly looks like social distancing to me.

Dictators cultivate loyalty by coercing their followers into humiliating and self-destructive acts. It constantly escalates.
