Pro Trump town: Nobody wears masks, the mayor is infected and Covid cases are soaring
Four years ago Donald Trump won Florida’s Baker County with a thumping 80-20 victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
It appears he is set to do so again. Across the county, and especially in the town of MacClenny, there are Trump-Pence signs pasted on walls, stuck in people’s lawns, or else plastered onto their vehicles. Such is the strength of GOP support, signs for an apparently respected Democrat running for reelection to her position as clerk to the court, made no mention of her party affiliation.
Indeed, to a visitor, it felt there were far more campaign signs in Baker County than there were face masks, even though Florida remains a Covid hot spot. In motels, bars, restaurants, and fuel stations, few people seemed to be wearing them, and many appeared unperturbed when asked about the risk of becoming infected.
One rather striking exception was MacClenny’s Republican mayor, Mark Bryant, who teaches art at Baker County High School and revealed to The Independent he had tested positive last week and was now in quarantine.
