Some state and local governments are being accused of trampling on Americans’ constitutional rights as they attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19; reaction from Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy, former chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
WATCH:
Masks prevent the spread of the virus, mainly protecting others from the wearers’ germs, and minimizing – along with other precautions – the wearers’ contact with the virus. Therefore, yes, the governor or mayor can insist on the public wearing masks outdoors, but $1,000 fine is a bit much, for a first offender. Not visiting one’s vulnerable parents is unfortunately often recommended.
