If You're Confronted By A Mask Karen, Rand Paul Has Some Advice

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul relayed some advice for non-mask wearers who get confronted in public by hysterical, hypochondriac Karens during a Tuesday night segment of Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime."

Host Jesse Watters introduced the segment with a montage of mask nazis harassing normal Americans guilty of wanting to breathe freely.

"These people clearly aren't well," Watters said before bringing on the Kentucky senator. "Large swaths of America are in a Covid cult."

Asked by the Fox News host how to handle such intrusions "in a respectful but normal way," Paul jokingly responded: "See, I would say bear spray but I'm afraid that will get me in trouble so I won't say that."

"I think you should back away and say, 'Lady, you are crazy, leave me the hell alone,' but you should not confront her," said the Kentucky senator. "You should not use violence. Back away and just say look, can you not find some other lunatic friends to hang around with?"

"Really this is a difference between individualism and collectivism," Paul added. "I have an opinion, but I'm not wanting to enforce it on anybody. I'm not telling you that you can't wear a mask. I'm just saying don't make me wear a mask when it doesn't work. They don't understand that, that we have a perspective, they have a perspective. But they want to force and ram their perspective down our throat through force. I mean, what kind of people are they? This has brought out the worst in people."

The libertarian-leaning senator, a frequent critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci and useless Covid measures, also pointed to evidence from Florida, Sweden, and elsewhere that mask mandates "have had no influence on the pandemic" before poking fun at CNN medical analyst Leana Wen, who recently called cloth masks "little more than facial decorations" against OMICRON, the dominant variant.

Paul is just a really good Senator. He’s principled, and not afraid to take a stand regardless of how unpopular it may be. And most importantly, he routinely brings to the forefront ideas that deserve to be heard, even if they’re not always the ones some conservatives support.

Actually, the “bear spray” was not far off the mark. These are truly feral human beings, not bound by the rules of civilized behavior.

Clearly state that their masks don’t work because you can smell their fetid breath.

If you really want to shine them on, tell them to go bleep themselves.

Good one. Another version start coughing, choking. Look them in the eye as you gag. That should shut them up.

My mom and I used this method anytime we wanted a seat and nobody would get up. I’d start coughing and the place would clear out. RIP Mom.

“Large swaths of America are in a Covid cult.”

Yep my 42 year old daughter has become one and yesterday after she told me I can’t see her unless I take the booster. I told her see ya wouldn’t want to be ya.

And for those of you who are gonna get down on me for taking the JNJ jab; I became a grandfather for the 1st time and there is no way in hell I wasn’t gonna see him.

So far my son hasn’t gotten the booster jab and has made no demand on me to get the booster which i won’t.

Which is why the establishment covidians cannot admit masks don’t work. Because then all the Karen’s would really look stupid and individualists would destroy the argument that you wearing a mask protects them, which of course it doesn’t.

I smile at them.

And say no.

It works because they don't know how to respond.

No one ever said "no" to them before.

I then proceed to go about my business with a cheerful smile.

And ignore them.

Do not argue, do not attempt to reason, do not get mad. Smile, say "no" and ignore the crazy person.

The correct response is “you’re vaxxed, boosted and wearing your masks so what are you whining about?” F Joe Biden works too.

"See, I would say bear spray but I'm afraid that will get me in trouble so I won't say that."

If the mask worked, the bear spray wouldn't affect them.

But it's so tempting.
