I hate wearing the mask. We have to do it at work when we are wandering around the dealership or with a customer. If we are at our desks or outside without a customer, we do not have to wear one. Those blue masks bothered my lips and made me feel like I smoked a whole pack between 9 and 7 from all the CO2 inhaled and stuff coming off the mask. Not allowed to wear a bandana, and cloth aren’t much better. However, if I go to a store that requires one I’ll put it on briefly, or not go. Some people, though, just have to be pains.
Also, speaking of bad protests
What started out as a freedom-loving celebration of the Second Amendment ahead of Memorial Day turned into Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear being hanged in effigy and protesters chanting outside the governor’s mansion.
The Second Amendment rally, meant to inspire people “about what it really means to be FREE,†according to Take Back Kentucky, attracted at least 100 people to the Kentucky State Capitol in Frankfort on Sunday.
It began as a celebration of constitutional rights but turned into a protest of coronavirus restrictions and Beshear’s administration. Folks toted guns and waved American and “Don’t tread on me†flags. Taps honored the fallen, and free flags were given to veterans from all military branches.
Yes, yes, I know Beshear has been horrible for 2nd Amendment rights, but, again, I’ve said and written it, leave the guns out. Don’t mix and muddle the message of reopening.
The effigy was swiftly condemned by leaders on both sides of the aisle, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“As a strong defender of the First Amendment, I believe Americans have the right to peacefully protest,” McConnell said on Twitter. “However, today’s action toward Governor Beshear is unacceptable. There is no place for hate in Kentucky.â€
Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, also a Republican, called the effigy “disgusting” on social media.
“I condemn it wholeheartedly,” he tweeted. “The words of John Wilkes Booth have no place in the Party of Lincoln.”
Kentucky House Democratic Leader Joni Jenkins, House Democratic Caucus Chair Derrick Graham and House Democratic Whip Angie Hatton issued a joint statement, calling the effigy “beyond reprehensible” and an “act that reeks of hate and intimidation.”
Interestingly, Democrats won’t condemn when Democrats hang Republicans, most notably Trump and Bush 43, in effigy.
