We’ve noticed that Florida Ag Commissioner Nikki Fried, a Dem gubernatorial candidate and fierce critic of Gov. Ron DeSantis, can’t decide when she is and isn’t supposed to wear a mask.
Here she is today, maskless:
It's worse than the worst it's ever been in Florida. Here is the update you won't get from our governor. pic.twitter.com/585APpcGYU

And keep in mind there are other people in the room when she gives these updates:
ICYMI: Watch a press conference with @FDACS Commissioner @NikkiFriedFL about #COVID19 in the state #MustSeeTFC #coronavirus https://t.co/F6df5L7RqA

But here she is yesterday, masked up:
Hospitalizations due to COVID-19 are an all-time high in Florida — right as we are about to start a new school year. We must protect our children— from COVID and the defunding of our schools. If that means the federal government must step in, so be it.
Here is today's briefing. pic.twitter.com/Z45RqXiDGI

And a few days before that, maskless again:
It's bad in Florida, but there is still hope. Please share the good news, too. pic.twitter.com/b5YIYxj8XT

This is happening outdoors as well.

From July 31, masked up:
Loved speaking to the Democratic Club of North Florida this morning!
We have to engage rural communities, in North Florida and across the state, to win in 2022. I knew this in 2018 and I know it now.
We’re going to flip Florida blue and break our state’s corrupt system. pic.twitter.com/MSws655rNJ

But there’s no mask on August 2:
Today's Florida COVID update is without new data, by choice of the governor.
So I'm asking him to immediately issue an emergency order to draw in federal resources, report daily, & join me in urging everyone to get vaccinated so we can end this pandemic. Video via @FOX13News. pic.twitter.com/JZUWrIYF6e

Is it too much to ask that the woman who wants to lead the state show just a tiny bit of consistency here?
