Watch: Tucker Carlson Blasts Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s ‘Nonsensical’ Masking Order

(Resist the Mainstream, Aug 26, 2021)

Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted Democratic Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s “nonsensical” outdoor masking order during Wednesday night’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” opening monologue.

Calling face masks “a quick and simple tool we can immediately deploy to protect ourselves and our families” in a Tuesday statement, Brown announced the Friday reimposition of a statewide outdoor masking mandate which applies to both vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals.

“At this point, it’s almost pointless to apply the traditional measures of logic, of reason, and data to decrees like that one,” Carlson said of the Oregon governor’s order. “Kate Brown’s decree is nonsensical. First off, if the vaccines work, then why are vaccinated people required to wear masks? And for that matter, why is anyone required to wear a mask outdoors? Outdoor transmission of Covid is so rare that it’s practically nonexistent. That is true whether or not you have been vaccinated.”

As Guy reported back in April, outdoor mask mandates are a special kind of stupid. After quoting Dr. Anthony Fauci himself calling outdoor Covid risk “really, really quite low,” Carlson cited an Ireland study that traced only one in a thousand cases to outdoor transmission.

‘So as a factual matter, Kate Brown’s order is absurd,” the Fox News host said.
