You know, lying in isolation in ICU for seven days, I thought about how wrong I was to remove my mask at the White House. Today, I think about how wrong it is to let mask wearing divide us, especially as we now know, you're twice as likely…
The legal theory put forward by his legal team and by the president is an absurdity. And the reason why the Supreme Court didn't take it is because it's an absurd idea.
put up or shut up, show us the evidence of what you're talking about, or move on.
I think that the whole getting of the of COVID, to begin with, and the not wearing of masks has been a problem. Everybody's got to put the health of the people they're going to be in touch with first.
It was a mistake. You know, I was led to believe that, you know, all the people that I was interacting with at the White House had been tested and it gave you a false sense of security. And it was a mistake.
I was doing it right for seven months and avoided the virus. I let my guard down for a couple of days inside the White House grounds, and it costs me in a significant way.
I think we need to be honest with the American people and just say directly to them we don't know everything we need to know about this disease, at this point... But we should be very affirmative.
I believe when I entered the White House grounds, I'd entered a safe zone. I was wrong. I was wrong to not wear a mask. And every public official should advocate for every American to wear a mask in public.
I believe we have not treated Americans as adults who understand truth, sacrifice and responsibility that I know them to be.
I was wrong. I was wrong not to wear a mask at the Amy Coney Barrett announcement. I was wrong not to wear a mask at my multiple debate prep sessions with the President and the rest of the team.
Of course everybody wants to save every life they can. But the question is towards what end, ultimately? Are there ways that we can thread the middle here to allow that there are going to be deaths, and there are going to be deaths no…
