Lauren Groh-Wargo, campaign manager for Stacey Abrams, just tweeted a follow-up to her earlier statement on her boss not wearing a mask in a classroom filled with masked students and teachers, saying “Stacey trusts science and supports masking in schools as it’s the current CDC recommendation” and “She wore a mask to the event, and removed it at the podium so she could be heard by students watching remotely and for photos, but only with folks who were masked”:

We’re no fans of masks here at Twitchy, but the pro-science position is that you need to wear them WHEN TALKING:
She removed it at the podium…which invalidates all the prophylactic protective measures she did before and after.
The time when you need to use the mask the most IS WHILE SPEAKING. https://t.co/yv6AFgh1Nr

And is the Abrams campaign aware that teachers must wear their masks all day long?
So students can't hear each other or their teacher when wearing masks?

“Keep going, you’re doing great!!”:
But teachers need to wear masks, right? But Stacey can take hers off so they can hear? Got it. Keep going, you are doing great!!

It could have been worse:
“She held her breath and didn’t exhale” https://t.co/Kb7vmYhFow

And we expect there are quite a few parents out there screaming that their kids can’t be understood by the teacher:
She wanted to be heard better. Imagine being a kid who hasn’t been heard well in two years. https://t.co/PVo3ahT2QD

It was a political stunt and she got caught:
This just highlights how Abrams was using the kids and teacher as props for her campaign photo. She took her mask off so her face could be seen, while everyone else kept theirs on https://t.co/88gn5hg0nj

And we can’t wait for Dems to run on this in November:
I was surprised by youngkin's win and i've been bullish on abrams, but not budging on this stuff is just a core part of the DNC's identity now and I don't see how it ends well for them. do you think VA swing voters wanted to hear about the CDC? https://t.co/QUuH4apTVI

Do it!

Oh, we’ll remember:
Stacey Abrams posed for this photo and then shared it herself.
Democrats don't think there's anything wrong with this picture. Remember that when you vote in November. pic.twitter.com/9qaJFGaT02
