    Default 'Neanderthal thinking': Biden lays into states lifting Covid restrictions

    President Joe Biden said Wednesday that moves by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and others to lift statewide Covid restrictions showed "Neanderthal thinking."

    “I think it’s a big mistake. I hope everyone has realized right now these masks make a difference," Biden said of the decision to lift mask mandates and other Covid mitigation measures.



    Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, laid into Biden for his comments Wednesday.

    "President Biden said allowing Mississippians to decide how to protect themselves is 'neanderthal thinking.' Mississippians don’t need handlers," Reeves wrote in a tweet. "As numbers drop, they can assess their choices and listen to experts. I guess I just think we should trust Americans, not insult them."

    In a statement to POLITICO, Abbott spokesperson Renae Eze said Abbott was "clear in telling Texans that COVID hasn’t ended, and that all Texans should follow medical advice and safe practices to continue containing COVID."

    "The fact is, Texas now has the tools and knowledge to combat COVID while also allowing Texans and small businesses to make their own decisions," Eze said. "It is clear from the recoveries, the vaccinations, the reduced hospitalizations, and the safe practices that Texans are using, that state mandates are no longer needed. We must now do more to restore livelihoods and normalcy for Texans."

    Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-Texas), said on MSNBC Wednesday that Abbott's move to lift restrictions "defies logic," calling on Texas to not listen to Abbott and to wear masks.

    "The last time that he prematurely reopened the state we saw death, devastation, misery, both on the https://www.politico.com/news/2021/0...s-473348health front as well as the economic front. Businesses died. People died," Escobar said.

    Biden should stop letting migrants testing positive cross the border and disappear into the USA
    Let the states run themselves

    Biden needs a gag, not a mask

    Reeves is an idiot, just like Abbott and their stupid choice is going end up killing their career in politics, count on it, sadly it will come at the expense of more suffering and deaths among their own citizens. It is all about $$$$$$

    Biden's handlers didn't get the memo that CovidScam2020 has served its purpose?

    Or are they just now figuring out that the bill for the psychotic fascism perpetrated by the Democrats since 2016 is about to come due, and the Democrats are in BIG trouble?

    Were you thinking differently after that round of EOs he signed?

    I certainly wasn't. I must say, any glimmer of hope for unity I had was dashed.

    Sad, & most of you are obviously part Neanderthals ..

    I am sure there will be some reasonable voices coming along to defend those unjustifiably maligned by Biden..

    Neanderthal-Americans stand-up & be counted!!!
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    The problem is he doesn't even know he's insulting people....are you encouraged when he's done speaking? Ever? "Alot"? It's so painful to listen to him....he doesn't even follow the teleprompter properly....
