GOP Congressman Complains That He "Can't Read The Instructions" On A Mask

From Bryan Steil (R-WI):




(If you can't see the picture, it is 1)the certificate of authenticity, not the instructions and 2)bilingual with both Chinese and English text. Additional Note: I've purchased some of these masks (Powercom brand, from Bona Fide Masks) and they come in a package with simple illustrated instructions on the outside.)

How does someone who can't figure out how to put on a mask survive to adulthood?

Of course, he's also pointing out to everyone that he's too silly and unintelligent to understand how to wear a simple mask properly after all this time.

He's just a simple outcry boy who never finished school, but he knows more than those uppity college professors

He is appealing to his proudly illiterate supporters who just know Covid is fake.

AND who, despite being elected, can’t read a bill before it is voted on…

which leads us to the conclusion that he has to be TOLD how to vote on those bills…

Just sayin’.

Except that being a Republican, he probably isn't aware that illiteracy is not an asset.

I have a feeling Republicans would assume this. But MAGA goods and Ivanka's fashions and everything else made in China is okay, that's different.
