NC-GOV: Lt. Gov. Dan Forest crusades against masks for kids the day CDC calls them critical

North Carolina Lt. Gov. Dan Forest hosted a press conference Wednesday in which he demanded public schools reopen immediately and denied that masks can help stop the spread of COVID-19 — the same day that Director Robert Redfield of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called them critical.

On the subject of face masks, Forest, who is also the GOP nominee for the state governor race, said, "I don't think that there's any science that backs that up."

He noted that if elected governor, he would lift the statewide mask mandate, adding that the state should not require public school students and teachers to wear masks.
