Ohio’s Governor DeWine promotes wearing masks: ‘This is not about whether you’re left or right’

“This is not about whether you’re liberal or conservative, left or right, Republican or Democrat,” DeWine told NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.” 

CNBC:

As states across the country begin reopening their economy and easing stay-at-home orders, DeWine emphasized the importance of following public health measures and wearing face masks, citing scientific studies.

“It’s been very clear what the studies have shown, you wear the mask not to protect yourself so much as to protect others,” he said. 

DeWine’s response comes after North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, also a Republican, made an emotional plea on Friday to be more empathetic rather than shaming those who wear masks. 

“If someone is wearing a mask, they’re not doing it to represent what political party they’re in or what candidates they support,” Burgum said. “They might be doing it because they’ve got a 5-year-old child who’s been going through cancer treatments. They might have vulnerable adults in their life, who currently have Covid and they’re fighting.”
