That\u2019s that\u2019s what she did,\u201d Joy Behar began, adding,&nbsp;\u201cI\u2019m surprised at her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an unforced error,\u201d Sunny Hostin agreed. \u201cWhy do that? Why give the right more ammunition? They always go after her anyway, and I think it was really hypocritical actually \u2014 her statement. First of all, this has nothing to do with black history month. The point is she was not wearing a mask when she is one of those proponents of mask mandates, and she said, I think, in her statement, her people said that she asked to \u2014 she removed it \u2014 I\u2019m sorry. She wore a mask to the school, but later removed it so she could be heard by students watching remotely, and for the photos on the condition that everyone around her was wearing masks.&nbsp;She should have worn a mask. That\u2019s a lame excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis happened the same week that Eric Garcetti got caught taking pictures without a mask,\u201d Ana Navarro added, noting that Garcetti \u2014 after the pictures of him with NBA star Magic Johnson caused backlash \u2014 had simply claimed that he was holding his breath when he removed his mask.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d Hostin objected, and everyone laughed, and Navarro continued, \u201cI think people really resent this idea of rules for thee but not for \u2014 rules for me but not for thee.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joy Behar argued that at least they were still better than people like Republican Governors Greg Abbott (TX) and Ron DeSantis (FL), who she claimed were telling people not to wear masks.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Haines pushed back, saying that DeSantis and Abbott had always been against mandates \u2014 and that the real issue was Abrams being in favor of mandates while <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/unmasked-stacey-abrams-visits-georgia-school-where-the-kids-still-have-to-mask-up\/\">not wearing a mask<\/a> herself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo come into a school where by the way, if I come into a school and that was the going norm, I would go ahead and just put my mask on even if I wasn\u2019t planning on it, because you\u2019re around these children and teachers and there are rules for that,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that \u2014 in her defense, she\u2019s better than that. She knows better than that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it\u2019s shocking because she\u2019s such a good strategist. She strategizes,\u201d Behar added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an unforced error of the worst sort and I don\u2019t know that I necessarily believe that politicians are role models anymore, but to many people she is, but you want better from your role model. Model the correct behavior,\u201d Hostin said.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams, who initially tweeted and then deleted photos from the school visit claimed that she had taken the mask off \u201cin consultation with the school nurse\u201d and only when everyone around her continued to wear masks.
