Tom Cotton Accuses ‘Public Health Bureaucrats’ of Doing ‘What They Think Is in the Interest of Public Health’
Roberts played a clip of Gov.
Ron DeSantis (R-FL) speaking out against mask mandates for schoolchildren, saying “We’re not doing that in Florida.”
White House Press Secretary
Jen Psaki called the decision “greatly concerning.”
Roberts turned to Cotton and said, “So you’ve got the governor of Florida saying, ‘I don’t think this is the right thing to do,’ and the White House coming down on him for that. Is that the White House’s role?”
Not surprisingly Cotton replied, “No,” adding,
Let me say, nobody elected the CDC. Nobody elected Tony Fauci to make these decisions. Advisers advise, elected officials decide. And the American people elected Joe Biden and the members of Congress and our governors and state legislatures to make these decisions for us. If you just turn these decisions over to a bunch of public health bureaucrats, of course the only thing they’re gonna consider is what they think is in the best interest of public health.
Incredibly, Roberts remained as stolid as a
Moai statue.
