(Steve Watson) Romney wants toddlers masked up on planes while he flies on private jets
Related The Airplane Mask Mandate Was Set to Expire. The U.S. Just Extended It Deep Into April.
by Steve Watson, March 16th, 2022
The Senate backed Rand Paul’s efforts to scrap mask mandates on public transport by voting Tuesday 57-40 in favour of ending the restrictions on planes and trains. The only Republican to vote against ending the mandate was Mitt Romney.
Eight Democrats – Kelly (AZ), Hassan (NH), Sinema (AZ), Manchin (WV), Bennet (CO), Cortez Masto (NV), Rosen (NV), and Tester (MT) – sided with the majority of Republicans on the issue, and the resolution will now head to the House. However, the vote failed to reach the two-thirds majority that would be needed to override a surefire Biden veto.
The White House announced last week that it will extend the current federal mask mandate, which had been set to expire this week through to at least April 18.
Paul issued a statement noting “Today, the Senate said enough is enough, and sent a message to unelected government bureaucrats to stop the anti-science, nanny state requirement of travel mask mandates.”
The statement continued, “Since March 2020, unelected bureaucrats have incessantly declared that we should ‘follow the science.’ But the same bureaucrats continue to defy science by imposing an ineffective and restrictive mask mandate for individuals travelling on public transit and airplanes.”
“As the entire world is learning to live with COVID, the federal government still uses fear mongering to stubbornly perpetuate its mandates, rather than giving clear-eyed, rational advice on how to best protect yourself from illness,” Paul further asserted, adding “That is why I forced this vote, and I applaud the Senate for rejecting this nonsense.”
A GOP aide in Romney's office says he voted against Sen. Rand Paul’s measure to repeal travel mask mandates because, as he has been vocal about in the past, he believes it’s important for public health officials to make these types of decisions, not politicians

Romney keeps positioning himself against party lines, most likely in anticipation of running in 2024.
He also voted Tuesday against Rand Paul’s amendment to eliminate Anthony Fauci’s position as ‘health dictator’.
Five other Republicans, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Jerry Moran of Kansas, also voted against the amendment, which failed.
Romney most recently accused Tulsi Gabbard of treason for speaking out regarding U.S. funded bio-labs in Ukraine.
Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.

Romney has also signalled an allegiance with Liz Cheney and the neo-con crow
Some of the most influential orbits in the Republican establishment are gathering tonight to support @Liz_Cheney. Senator Romney and his longtime allies, Bush World, etc. https://t.co/4mBqdi6tIe

Eight Democrats voted with every Republican but Mitt Romney to overturn the mask mandate. (Utah voters should vote against Romney for supporting this mask idiocy alone. Embarrassing.) https://t.co/C2XaHdUCDJ

Mitt Romney voted to keep airplane mask mandates. Pathetic tyrant.

Of course Mitt Romney voted to keep mask mandates for commercial airplanes… he flies private and has probably NEVER worn a mask in flight.

Mitt Romney thinks war in Ukraine is well handled by a 79 year old dementia patient but the decision of whether or not to mask your toddler should be left to real “experts”

Hardly surprising to me AT ALL – and why hasn’t the US removed this creep yet? Oh, that’s right, you guys have fraudulent elections (as I’m sure we probably do too)!
