... Kamala Harris strongly rebuked President Donald Trump for politicizing the issue of wearing a pandemic mask during an interview Sunday with CNN's Dana Bash.
Harris, minutes earlier in the same interview, said she would be skeptical of a coronavirus vaccine distributed by the Trump administration but said a big part of the problem with pandemic response " is that we have a president of the United States who made this a partisan issue and made it a political issue."
BASH: Would a Biden/Harris administration support a federal mask mandate?HARRIS: So it's about a national standard. Everyone should wear a mask. And here's the thing about this, none of us likes wearing a mask. Nobody likes to wear a mask.
BASH: Right, but there's a difference between a standard --
HARRIS: But it's about sacrifice.
BASH: Right, there's a difference between a standard and a mandate. Would it be a federal mandate under the Biden/Harris administration?
HARRIS: It would be a standard. No -- listen, this is not about -- in terms of the priorities of Joe Biden and myself, this is not about punishment. It's not about big brother. It is simply about saying -- what a leader says in times of crisis... Where leaders said, "We each have to sacrifice for the sake of the nation and the collective."
BASH: But how do you enforce a standard, especially, when, as you know, there are governors who are in -- you know, who just don't agree with that and they're not mandating it on the more local level? How do you enforce that?
HARRIS: But I think that part of the issue here is that we have a president of the United States who made this a partisan issue and made it a political issue.

>> a sacrifice for the collective
America is about sacrifice for liberty, jackass.
F YOU gulag harris. Please leave this planet before you poop again.
The Whore of Babylon opens her mouth again.
They will deputize the Karens to enforce their madness. There are plenty even on this site who would gladly march their neighbors to the camps for. of wearing a mask
You will be maskimilated.
Just like Obola. A collectivist communitarian (or is it communitarian collectivist)?
“Little by little, they changed the criteria. NOW, it’s assumed that everyone in the entire country has it....so wear the damn UNNECESSARY mask.”
The mask mandate (which I have not, and will not comply with) is only one facet of this BS. Unsure how it is in other states, but here in Maine, Comrade Mills continues to extend the “civil state of emergency” on a monthly basis. This allows her to keep her thumb on businesses, and constantly suckle from the “federal teat” to recoup some of the losses to the state’s economy that she inflicted with the BS shutdowns/closures. Of course, to hear her tell it, all of this is done (not unlike “Round heels Harris”)for the “greater good, and access to more, and much needed PPE”.
Seems like a good excuse for not letting Harris get anywhere near the reins of power...or any Democrat for that matter.
Good form!
+ force = statism
True, it is hard to do but she's doing it!!!
F the collective.
The Left weaponizes everything possible in the service of tyranny. None are fit to live.
I went to the VA last week and found out my mask wasn’t masky enough. It has a vent and they told me I couldn’t wear it. The vent wasn’t open air. They gave me one that had the same protection as the one with a vent.
A national mask mandate is a total absurdity. Not every locality has the same issues or population density. She is a nutcase to think this makes sense, and her comment contradicts itself.
Go to hell Kameltoe! Any sacrifice I make for a collective will be made of my own free will! I served 27 years in the military and I think I’ve sacrificed plenty!
“Talk about an unforced error. All she had to do is say it’s not a federal issue, not within a President’s power. Up to the States. But she went out of her way to announce herself as a statist authoritarian.
Feeds right into how Trump is framing this election.”
Almost as good as when she smirked and declared the riots will continue, thru the election and after ‘WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP’.
She is a thug.
Likely the rate of virus replication in the infected person and then on the probability of transmission to others.
Who knows? Were are the CDC and FDA studies?
Do you want to know how dreadfully stupid this Commie-ho is?
Friendly idiot Dana Bash had her stumbling and bumbling incoherently, just like...
JOE BIDEN!
An an immigrant to the USA, this is what has always made the USA different than any other country, including Europe.
What is best for the collective? Everywhere else, you are 2nd to the desires of the collective. The collective is put first as though that is what is best for the individual. In America, the best interests of the collective has always been individual rights. Putting individual rights first IS in the best interests of the collective.
We can see, especially in the UK, that your rights are eroded when subjective laws are weighed against the desire of the collective (mob). Free speech is gone over there. If you preach Christianity you’ll be arrested because the (Islamic) mob says it’ll make them violent to hear such ‘offensive’ words. Who should you arrest? The mob threatening violence? Or the preacher? ...of course the preacher loses because police deem it to be in the ‘best interests of the collective’.
