Dumbass Arizona Sheriff Tests Positive For COVID After Refusing To Enforce AZ's Stay-At-Home Order [View all]

Arizona Sheriff Tests Positive For COVID After Refusing To Enforce State’s Stay-At-Home Order



Arizona Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb, who ignored Gov. Doug Ducey (R)’s stay-at-home order, announced on Wednesday that he had tested positive for COVID-19 right before his scheduled meeting with President Donald Trump the day before.

“On Tuesday, I was called to join the President at the White House. As is protocol, all visitors are screened for the virus,” Lamb wrote in a Facebook post. “While still asymptomatic, I tested positive for the COVID-19.”

The sheriff stated that he would be self-quarantining for the next 14 days.

Lamb is one of several sheriffs who have refused to enforce their governors’ stay-at-home orders amid the pandemic.

“I think people want to know that we’re going to support their constitutional rights,” he said in May, arguing that Arizona’s COVID-19 death toll of over 300 at that point was “not a significant enough number to continue to ruin the economy.” - TPM

I would assume he's pro-life too. If so, whose life he is pro-life about appears to be subjective. Like any useful idiot, he does what he is told.
