“The world is different now. We can’t go back to when pandemics didn’t happen.” - Sen. Natasha Marcus (D)

North Carolina bill to curb mask-wearing in protests could make it illegal for medical reasons too

Republican lawmakers in North Carolina have proposed a bill that would enhance penalties for people wearing a mask during a crime or intentionally blocking traffic during protests. The bill passed its first committee on Tuesday. Critics say the law would make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against COVID-19 or for other health reasons. Republican Sen. Buck Newton brushed off concerns that the law was overly broad. He said he expects authorities to use common sense. During public comment, several people said the “anti-protest bill” aimed to curb free speech.

The North Carolina GOP is running at least three batshit-crazy hatemongers in statewide races -- governor, AG and schools superintendent.
