Todays presser w/DeWine. Jack Windsor, maskhole, is on DeWines nerves. long

If you watch/listen to DeWines updates, Jack Windsor is a maskhole.

snip-"Stop giving air to an anti-mask, right wing ideologue who has recently stumped for armed insurrection

For months, Jack Windsor has been a peculiar presence at Gov. Mike DeWine's COVID-19 press conferences, asking long-winded, conspiracy-laden questions about the miscounting of Ohio coronavirus cases and supposed Marxist contact tracers while simultaneously taking to social media to equate mask mandates with a form of government control. More recently, though, Windsor, who received his press credentials from Mansfield TV station WMFD, has taken to Twitter to stump for armed insurrection, embracing a right wing falsehood that the election has somehow been stolen from President Donald Trump."

snip-"DeWine has repeatedly urged Ohioans to wear masks to help protect the most vulnerable people in the state. Yet, at press conferences, the governor regularly gives airtime to Windsor, who has made his distaste for the practice clear, repeatedly equating mask requirements with tyranny. Windsor is free to say whatever he wants, obviously, but DeWine has no responsibility to elevate his voice or lend it greater credence, which is what being an active part of the press pool allows. And if there's any doubt that Windsor has cultivated an audience for his message, check out his Facebook fan club, a nearly 10,000-strong cesspool filled with vocal anti-vaxxers, QAnon devotees and mind-boggling stupidity. In one post, for example, a group member expressed incredulity that work on a COVID-19 vaccine could have started in February, "before there [was] a pandemic," ignoring the fact that the coronavirus was first discovered in Wuhan, China, in December 2019."

more there.



Finally the youtube clip where DeWine, boringly calm DeWine eyerolls finally has enough. Fast forward to 27:56.
