Colorado Governor Jared Polis came under fire this weekend after he called state residents who do not wear masks to curb the spread of the new coronavirus, "selfish bastards."
On Sunday, Polis posted on his campaign Facebook account to remind Colorado residents that scientific studies supported the use of face coverings and face masks in public places to help reduce the spread of the virus, adding: "So if you're a selfish bastard and wearing a mask to protect others isn't enough of reason to do so, then maybe protecting yourself is?"

A mask will not protect you from influenza and there are no studies that say it will.
Pretty good impression of the doddering old man.
If an actual conservative candidate for goovenair comes around next time against Henry, I will do everything I can for that person.
Just when Henry seems to be acting sensible, he goes wobbly.
I guess it’s pandering to the karens and/or pressure from some big money types for reasons I can’t see. Then I don’t look at lording over people and desire to control them.
I wear a mask while sleeping. Does Jared?
Yes! This selfish bastards rhetoric seems to be standard among Dems and RINOs now. Such as our mayor of Jacksonville FL who has opposed De Santis every step of the way and last week announced that he was exposed (meaning he met somebody who had tested positive) so while hes tested negative hes self-quarantining and appears on the news unshaven and disheveled, indicating how much he is suffering (although he actually doesnt have any disease at all).
He is sending out 250 deputies and inspectors to make sure every restaurant in Jax is abiding by his insane masking and shut down orders. Meanwhile, in west Jacksonville, we have black on black killings every night, not only gang bangers killing others, but bullets striking old people taking their grandkids to school, children just sitting in the car while their father was driving them back from an excursion to the grocery store, etc. Why not use that money to police those neighborhoods, stamp out the gangs, and do something to actually improve the lives of people here?
But I guess The Mask rules.
It’s not my job to protect others, and I’ll be responsible for me and mine. If others feel vulnerable, they need to take personal responsibility to quarantine, wear ineffective masks, modify their lives, whatever else.
That’s the new spiel — shame people for being “selfish”. They can piss up a rope.
And rioters and protestors? No harsh comments for them?

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
I think Democrats that want to take my money, my 1st & 2nd Amendment rights & want to dictate my behavior are selfish bastards.
In the lab, virologists wear spacesuits with supplied air for protection.
But the paper masks probably work, too.

Dumbass masktard governor.
funny. I feel the same about him
N95s arent that great either

Selfish Bastard Lives Matter!
Polis needs to check OSHA regulations on proper use of respirators. He needs to check laws by FDA regarding who determines the effectiveness and safety of medical devices. He needs also to look at the box his masks came in and reed what the (chinese) manufacturer says about the use of that mask and finally, he needs to remember whaþ legislators are for. He isn’t one.
He is your typical demonrat sleezebag.
‘We call them covidiots.’
snitched on anybody lately...? go ahead, you know you wnat to do it...
No doubt that doesnt apply to mostly peaceful BLM useful idiots.
I was told all of this is supposed to mean Trump will win in a landslide.
‘They are winning and the GOP is losing badly thanks to the madness.’
the madness is not causing the pubs to lose; it’s their own ineptitude...and yep, they are losing big time, and November is going to be a bloodbath for some of them...
I should have guessed he's a poofter.
