Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., addressed reporters before entering Nashville International Airport for what he said was his first flight since a judge threw out the Biden administration's mask mandate for public transportation.
Paul, a doctor himself, had long been a fierce opponent of the mask mandate, and a regular challenger of government health officials throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
"It is a happy day! No more masks!" Paul cheered. "We’re seeing nothing but smiles here at the Nashville Airport. People have been tired, sick and tired of wearing the masks. We’re ready to be free again, and thank goodness for a judge who was willing to make the right decision. And the administration is appealing it, but my hope is that we never have to do this again. Congress never gave permission to the CDC to pass this."
The Republican senator also argued that masks were never effective in the first place, citing data that backed up his claim.

The Brandon Administration must appeal this District Court ruling, and fully succeed in appeal, in order to preserve its power to reinstate, again by fiat, the same rule in the future whenever it sees fit based upon feckless CDC handwringing.
This is a contrary precedent which from the perspective of the Brandon Administration simply cannot be allowed to stand unmolested going forward.
I read it too fast, thought it said St Paul! lol
So he didn’t like masks.
Wow, how amazing. Surely he’s the only one.
Incredible, that he has such a unique opinion.
So true. Unresponsive, unelected... uncontrollable.
Same here LOL
