With MS State Health Officer Dr. Thomas Dobbs standing behind him wearing a mask, Gov. Tate Reeves criticized reporter for wearing a mask despite being vaccinated.

"If you really want to virtue signal, why are you in this room? Why don't you go to your house & lock yourself up?"

1. Mississippi.... If shit had statehood!

[Duppers]

5. Along with FL, TN, TX

Btw, I was accused of the same - "virtue signaling" here on DU's lounge a couple of mos ago. Yep, still too pissed off to let it go because they should've known better. Told them they sounded like wingers!

[Comfortably_Numb]

6. As a sufferer here in texas.... Hell yeah. Shithole state with a douche nugget governor.

10. Jesus! Clearly, a Trump troll outed itself. No Democrat would consider posting something like that.

Here's hoping it steps into an open manhole crossing the street!

Lower than low.

No reason for anyone to forget a troll's dirty attempt to insult. Trolls don't belong here.

17. They are long-term DUers!!!

Yet I still regret I didn't altered on them.

Ck your pm's, Judi.

Thank you so much!

7. Which one of the state clowns asked for a Navy hospital ship?

[tishaLA]

15. Why, Mississippi, of course!

During hurricane season!

9. When will reporters stop

taking shit from these assholes?! That reporter should have said, "Why don't you go fuck yourself, you knuckle dragging, mouth breathing good for nothing fuckwad?"

[FakeNoose]

11. I know right? Access to the governor (who's an a-hole) means so much to them

They sell their soul to the devil for access.

(sigh) I guess it happens everywhere.

13. Why does he care?

Seriously, what bothers Gov. Reeves about a reporter wearing a mask? Why do anti-maskers get so offended by those who wear a mask as it should have no impact on them whatsoever (versus those who won't wear a mask having a real effect on others). Could it be that on some level they know they are wrong? Could it be they don't feel all that secure in their anti-mask stance so want to force others to agree so they don't feel so insecure about their position? That's the only reason I can think of.

[smirkymonkey]

20. Yes is the answer to all of your questions, even though they were rhetorical.

It's is nothing but insecurity on their part. Otherwise, they wouldn't give a damn what we do..

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Solid bone. From ear to ear. Can't fix that.

[spanone]

16. I'm coming to the conclusion that these people are simply dumber than stumps

Ignorant motherhumpers.

19. Here's to the state of Mississippi

[czarjak]

23. The state of the state of Mississippi is blood-kin to ALL of them...

[calimary]

21. Because some of us have assignments to go out and cover YOU, Gov.

[yonder]

22. A response from the reporter could've been:

"That's not very logical governor. If I really want to virtue signal, being right here in this room rather than locking up at home would be more effective. Would you agree, GOVERNOR, huh"?

Throw his asshole words right back at him.
