President Joe Biden’s White House is sending a very distinct message with its barber shop: Hair cuts for me, not for thee.
Biden, you’ll remember, is against mass reopening. Just a few weeks ago, he said Mississippi and Texas were engaged in “Neanderthal thinking” when they lifted their mask mandate.
“Look, I hope everybody’s realized by now, these masks make a difference,” Biden said.
“The last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime, everything is fine, take off your masks, forget it. It still matters.”
NEW: President Biden calls Texas and Mississippi decisions to end mask mandates “a big mistake" and criticizes what he views as “Neanderthal thinking” after CDC warned against complacency in the face of emerging coronavirus variants on Monday. pic.twitter.com/Mmdln3gNG6
