President Biden not only criticized but decisions but insulted those who made them:

Democrats like to pretend that people won’t do something unless the government cracks down on it via mandate.
Today's announcement doesn’t abandon safe practices that Texans have mastered over the past year. Instead, it’s a reminder that each person has a role to play in their own personal safety & the safety of others.

That’s “neanderthal thinking” as far as President Biden is concerned.
