The Senate on Tuesday voted to nix a requirement to wear masks on public transportation as the country rolls back coronavirus rules and restrictions.

Senators voted 57-40 on the resolution, which would roll back Centers for Disease Control and Prevention requirements that most people wear masks on public transportation, including trains, airplanes and buses.

The bill was introduced by Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), and Democratic Sens. Michael Bennet (Colo.), Kyrsten Sinema (Ariz.), Jon Tester (Mont.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.), Joe Manchin (W.Va.), Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Jacky Rosen (Nev.) and Maggie Hassan (N.H.) each voted for it.

Not over at all.

IIRC, just weeks ago the same Noah was attacking the unvaxxed and those against mandates.

A wise person may go back and look at previous actions during the pandemic and ask themselves what else was BS? Masking 3 year olds and teens; closing mom and pop stores while keeping chain Super stores open; etc. I doubt Noah will do any soul searching.

I will never fly again until I can enter an airport without a mask and get on a plane without a mask.

I had pretty much had it with flying before this BS because of the TSA. Tired of being bullied by government thugs.

Note the vulnerable RAT Senators running for cover.
This could have happened 6 months ago if the GOP Senate wasn’t such cowards.

Other than Sienema and Manchin they are only voting that way out of fear of the voters not their true beliefs.
