Dem senator blocks bill to ban federal mask mandates (sign outside his office WON'T shock you)

Doug P. | 4:21 PM on September 07, 2023

Republican Sen. J.D. Vance is the co-sponsor of a bill that would ban federal mask mandates, and it was brought to the Senate floor today:

🚨NEW: Three additional Republicans have cosponsored Senator @JDVance1’s Freedom to Breathe Act

Senators @SenJohnBarrasso, @MarshaBlackburn, and @SenKatieBritt are standing up against Covid tyranny. https://t.co/RMF75ZPoAx

When it was time for a vote, Democrats Sen. Ed Markey wasn't about to let any of the federal government's power laughably in the name of "science" go by the wayside:

Nothing makes a lefty Democrat angrier than when somebody tries to take away the federal government's ability to take your freedoms away on a whim.

Here's the video of Markey earlier today blocking @JDVance1's unanimous consent on the "Freedom to Breathe" Act. Reminder that Markey also once tried to pass a national mask mandate bill with $5B to enforce it.https://t.co/p9NQFYG7IJ

Senator Markey was also spotted really running with the virtue signaling on masking. This is just pathetic:

NEW: This is a photo that was just sent to me of Sen. @EdMarkey's office on Capitol Hill where he still forces people to wear masks and has this giant sign outside of it.

The "election year variant" is being put into place (again) and they couldn't make it more obvious.
