GOP Rep. Becomes Weirdly Violent With Mask, Rants About Nazis In Bonkers Video

A Republican lawmaker in Louisiana has launched a strange new kind of attack ad in which he fights a piece of paper and a mask .


In a video released on Facebook, state Rep. Danny McCormick crumples a piece of paper with a mask mandate on it and hits it with a stick. Then, he battles a mask with a blowtorch and a chainsaw to show his opposition to mandates requiring face coverings to stop the spread of the   coronavirus .

“Masks aren’t bad,” McCormick said as he attacked the masks. “Mandates are.”

He also compared those who support mask mandates to Nazis.




“You see, the government needed a villain,” McCormick said in the video. “People who don’t wear a mask will be soon painted as the enemy just as they did to Jews in Nazi Germany.”

McCormick wears safety gear while handling the blowtorch and chainsaw to show his opposition to a safety mandate. Although he also   opposes abortion , McCormick argues against mandatory masks by saying that “your body is your private property.”

And he spouts conspiracy theories about forced vaccinations and implanted tracking devices.

“If the government has the power to force you to wear a mask, they can force you to stick a needle in your arm against your will,” he said. “They can put a microchip in you. They can even make you take the mark. After all, it’s for the greater good.”

The “mark” is an apparent nod to the biblical “mark” or “ number of the beast .”

McCormick   told local ABC station KTBS   that he doesn’t wear a mask in public because there’s no proof they work.

A local rabbi took issue with McCormick comparing the situation to Nazi Germany.

“It’s really belittling the experience of the Jewish people in Nazi Germany,” Rabbi Sydni Rubinstein of Agudath Achim Synagogue told KTBS. “There’s a huge difference between limited access to food and resources and wearing a little piece of cloth on your face.”

McCormick was set off by a mask mandate in Shreveport, where COVID-19 cases have been on the rise.

“This is not due to more testing in our area,” Mayor Adrian Perkins said this week,   according to local NBC station KTAL . “Hospitalizations do not lie and our area is seeing an alarming rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations.”

I'm convinced that southern states can now be identified by DNA markers in some residents.

I bet he doesn't feel the same way about abortion

This guy is not aware that masks are primarily to protect others from you??

Apparently,  a lot of people aren't aware if that. Some even think a mask infringes on their rights. With such mentality and stupidity around, yeah, we're doomed.

A strange phenomenon.   An abundance of easily accessed information on which to base an informed position yet many still go with gut feelings, desires and/or follow their authorities of choice.

Strange, and yet sad too.

I suppose that's even easier than doing actual research or giving actual thought to something. Just look at the article about the use of hydroxychloroquine we participated in. A single source is cited about the possibility of benefit of hydroxy being given (the cited article doesn't even conclude using hydroxy is ok) and taken as authoritative fact. Never mind all the actual cited research provided demonstrating different conclusions. People only seem to listen or accept what they want to hear. Not what is actually said or demonstrated.
