Dems catch a 'lucky break' as the Capitol physician now says it's safe to go maskless at the SOTU

And — POOF! — masks are no longer required in the Capitol:

This means masks are optional at the SOTU on Tuesday, too:

The Capitol Attending Physician says in new guidance that masks are now optional at the Capitol, just in time for President Joe Biden’s first state of the union address.

It’s pretty great how science evolved just in time for this major television event:

Dems will never admit this, however:

There is zero science supporting this. If you believe mask mandates were necessary a week ago, or a month ago, there is nothing new to support this change…

…well, other than politics. https://t.co/TOPROTNeuj
