Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday urged the public once again to wear masks to slow the spread of COVID-19, as the country’s seven-day average for daily new cases hit a record high for the 27th straight day the day before.
“Yes, everyone wear masks. And enjoy eating them, too, since this GOP is not going to give anyone a fucking dime to survive the Trump/GOP pandemic.” - Mitch McConnell, Trump Courtesan

In other words Florida now has a 20% infection rate and he is changing nothing
Cue the Broder Cilizza villager trope “Mitch being pro mask is a smart way of shoring up moderate swing voters in the Lexington suburbs because McGrath is a tough opponent”.
Wearing a mask is certainly more than appropriate, but it doesn’t pay the rent or put food on the table or pay for healthcare or childcare. It’s past time to step up, Mitch. People are suffering because you didn’t convict Trump when you had the chance.
I’m afraid he knows exactly what he is doing. Namely, and only this - how much to ‘spin’ his “back-home” brand of Kentucky koolaid to local voters, getting just enough support on November 3 to go back for another 6 years. Just like he’s been doing since 1984.
Unfortunately, unless the state magically turns blue, he’s probably going to win. FatAss will carry him on his … fat ass. Also, did McConnnell say this as he left on a private plane for a two-week recess? Any thoughts about the hundreds of millions who can’t pay rent?
They see that 100k cases per day that Fauci referenced coming very soon now, and are scared out of their wits. Even the freaking White House, at long last, is recommending masking, even as Trump is too occupied tilting at statues.
Though they irresponsibly continue to hold rallies, they made one important concession in holding it outdoors.
