And, in this case, circumstances have changed. Case counts are declining. Also, the science has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some Democrat governors have also started to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/covid-mask-requirements-democratic-governors\/\">lift<\/a> mask mandates in their states.<\/p>\n<p>Notable responses included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ron DeSantis<\/strong>, Governor of Florida (R): \u201cFrom the onset of the pandemic, corporate media outlets were advocating for lockdowns, school closures, and forced masking of children. Two years later? The facts show lockdowns didn\u2019t work, masks didn\u2019t reduce spread, and that Democrats followed politics \u2013 not science. Even worse, our school children were used as pawns in their political games. The legacy media will try to whitewash the Left\u2019s failures and hypocrisy. Don\u2019t let them just move on to the next narrative.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kevin McCarthy<\/strong>, House Minority Leader (R-CA): \u201cDon\u2019t let them gaslight you. Democrats have spent two years championing lockdowns and mandates. In the name of \u2018science,\u2019 liberal politicians kept schools closed for months, shut down playgrounds, and completely altered the childhood of an entire generation of children.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Donald Trump Jr.<\/strong>: \u201c18 months after everyone with a brain was against mask mandates and smothering our children and our freedoms Democrats are pretending to be campions [sic] of the reversal of their draconian Policies BS as though it never happened because SCIENCE\u2026 (polling).\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pradheep J. Shanker, <\/strong>physician: \u201cEvery single Democrat executive that ends mask mandates for everyone BUT SCHOOLCHILDREN is quite literally saying they don\u2019t understand the science, and don\u2019t care about the CDC\u2019s own data on the matter. The reason schoolchildren are still masked? THEY DON\u2019T VOTE. That\u2019s it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rob Schneider<\/strong>, actor: \u201cThe \u2018science\u2019 hasn\u2019t changed. The wind has\u2026 And they see which way it\u2019s blowing.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ben Shapiro<\/strong>, Editor Emeritus of The Daily Wire: \u201cJoe Biden did not crush the virus. Democrats did not follow the data. Blue state elites did not even follow their own restrictions. Now they\u2019re trying to gaslight you. Don\u2019t let them. \u2026 The Science\u2122 was always politics. When they say The Science\u2122 has changed, therefore, they mean that the politics has changed. Which it has. But it was never actual science.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>David Limbaugh<\/strong>: \u201cIt will be fascinating and outrageous to watch Democrats scramble to convince voters over the next months that they didn\u2019t do an about face on Covid, but that the science evolved. \u2018Science,\u2019 what a malleable word, kind of like climate change \u2014 shape-shift it to suit your needs.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH)<\/strong>: \u201cKeep in mind as you see blue states lift mask mandates and Democrats try to claim credit: The science on COVID hasn\u2019t changed. The political science has. Remember: Republicans have fought to allow Americans to sensibly and methodically move past the pandemic. Democrats haven\u2019t.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>James Todaro<\/strong>, physician: \u201cThey destroyed businesses, kept kids out of school, forced masks on children, banned therapeutics, mandated vaccines, barred attendance at funerals\/weddings, prohibited last moments w\/ dying loved ones. Now they will gaslight us for the next 9 months with \u2018the science has changed.&#8217;\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
