mitch mcconnell refuses to criticize republicans greg abbott and ron desantis for banning school-wide mask mandates as the minority leader encourages people to get vaccinated

Mitch McConnell wouldn't say on Sunday whether he thinks Republican Governors Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis should reverse their bans on schools and private entities implementing mask mandates.

'Do you think that Governor DeSantis and Governor Abbott are making a mistake banning individual institutions, school districts, from imposing mask mandates?' Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace asked McConnell as Texas and Florida lead in COVID-19 case spikes.

'You know, I'm kind of reluctant to give governors advice about how they ought to carry out their responsibilities during the pandemic,' the minority leader dodged.

'But I do think it's important to remember that 90 per cent of the people in the hospitals are unvaccinated,' McConnell continued. 'So the answer to this is: Get vaccinated. If we could keep saying that over and over and over again, I think that's the key to this.'

'This is a crisis among unvaccinated Americans who seem to be reluctant to believe that vaccination works. It does,' the Republican Kentucky senator said.

Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released updated guidance that vaccinated people in high case-rate areas should return to wearing masks in indoor public places.

This led to many private entities implementing mask mandates and some areas – like New York City – requiring proof of vaccinations in order to participate in indoor activities like dining at restaurants or going to see a movie in theaters.

This updated guidance included recommendations that students continue to wear face masks when returning to school in the fall.

Abbott, governor of Texas, and DeSantis, governor of Florida, have both signed executive orders banning school districts from implementing compulsory mask wearing on students.

The two Republican state leaders say the decision should be left up to parents on whether their children need to mask up.

DeSantis also instructed his states' agencies to allow school vouchers to be used to pay for parents to send students to private schools if they feel their children are being harassed or 'bullied' for not wearing face coverings.

Both Florida and Texas are in first and second place respectively when it comes to case rate counts as the Delta variant continues to surge and breakthrough cases in vaccinated individuals spike.

Even Donald Trump has encouraged people to get vaccinated, revealing that he is fully inoculated against coronavirus.

The former president was booed during a rally in Cullman, Alabama this month when he said he recommends getting the jab. He quickly went on to say that people have the right to choose if they want the vaccine because 'freedom' is important.
