Republicans, with exception of Trump, now push mask-wearing

WASHINGTON (AP) — In Republican circles — with the no-
table exception of the man who leads the party — the
debate about masks is over: It’s time to put one on.
As a surge of infections hammers the South and West,
GOP officials are pushing back against the notion that
masks are about politics, as President Donald Trump sug-
gests, and telling Americans they can help save lives.
Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican, on Tues-
day bluntly called on Trump to start wearing a mask, at
least some of the time, to set a good example.
“Unfortunately, this simple, lifesaving practice has be-
come part of a political debate that says: If you’re for
Trump, you don’t wear a mask. If you’re against Trump,
you do,” Alexander said. It’s a rare break for Republicans
from Trump, who earlier this month told the Wall Street
Journal that some people wear masks simply to show
that they disapprove of him. And the Republican nudges
for the public — and the president — to embrace mask-
wearing are coming from all corners of Trump’s party and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., listens to questions during a news conference fol-
even from friendly conservative media. lowing a GOP policy meeting on Capitol Hill, Tuesday, June 30, 2020, in Washington.
