We thought Republicans stood for personal freedom....

Republicans have ignored the COVID-19 science since day one. And now, GOP bullies like Ron DeSantis are throwing temper tantrums when someone around them chooses to mask. {NAME}, COVID-19 has disrupted our entire way of life, and we have lost hundreds of thousands of Americans to this virus. So it’s completely understandable that many of us choose to continue wearing masks, which are scientifically proven to reduce the spread of the coronavirus. But Republicans have ignored the science since day one. And now, GOP bullies like Ron DeSantis are throwing temper tantrums when someone around them chooses to mask. At a college campus event in his home state, Florida Governor DeSantis was recorded chiding students for masking. {NAME}, Republicans herald themselves as the party of individual freedoms, so you would think they would be fine with this personal choice. Apparently not. DeSantis then went on to fundraise off of his bizarre outburst. So team, we’re doing the same. [If you support an individual’s right to wear a mask if they choose, will you contribute to support Democrats in the House and stand up to anti-science Republican bullies?]( [DONATE NOW]( We’ve come a long way in our fight against the coronavirus, but the past few years have been long and traumatic. We support anyone who chooses to continue to wear a mask, whether they are at a higher risk of infection, protecting loved ones, or simply doing their part to eradicate this pandemic virus for good. — Team Cicilline --------------------------------------------------------------- [Facebook]( [Twitter]( Democrat David Cicilline proudly represents Rhode Island's 1st Congressional District.
