Patrick reeled off a list of 15 states besides Texas and Mississippi that didn\u2019t have a mask mandate, snapping, \u201cLet Joe Biden remember that off the top of his head; he couldn\u2019t get by the second state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Patrick on Thursday, Fox News host Harris Faulkner said of Biden, \u201cHe called what you are doing in Texas and what\u2019s happening in the state of Mississippi \u2018Neanderthal thinking.\u2019 What is your reaction to that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, what I would call \u2018Neanderthal thinking\u2019 would be Governor (Gavin) Newsom in California telling his people not to come out of their cave for a year,\u201d Patrick replied. \u201cI would call \u2018Neanderthal thinking\u201d the Democrat governor (Andrew) Cuomo of New York sending patients with COVID to nursing homes, where he covered up 12,000 people dying. And as (Texas GOP) Governor (Greg) Abbott mentioned, I would call \u2018Neanderthal thinking\u201d of allowing people across the border illegally with COVID, tested positive and put them on a bus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-56091682\">BBC<\/a>, in mid-February Cuomo admitted at a press conference that his office had significantly underreported the number of nursing home deaths. \u201cMore than 15,000 New Yorkers in care homes have died since the start of the pandemic,\u201d the outlet noted. \u201cBut \u2014 until late last month \u2014 the state\u2019s health department had logged just over 8,500 fatalities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd of course that word \u2018Neanderthal\u2019 would come to the president very quickly because if you look up the definition of it, it says Neanderthals were hunter-gatherers, and of course, that would be the name of his son, who gathers millions for his family from countries around the world,\u201d Patrick continued. \u201cSecondly, he didn\u2019t look at the facts: Texas did nothing new; we have 15 other states: Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, South Carolina, Tennessee. Let Joe Biden remember that off the top of his head; he couldn\u2019t get by the second state. Fifteen other states don\u2019t have a mask mandate; we just joined that group.\u201d He added, \u201cWe\u2019re looking at this very carefully; we\u2019re not telling people not to wear masks; we\u2019re just removing a mandate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Patrick commented, \u201cI go back to the president. How dare him attack Texas for our policies when he is allowing the border to be overrun by people coming here by the hundreds, by the thousands, and testing positive, and coming on a bus to your state wherever you happen to live in the United States of America?\u00a0What a hypocrite!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-psaki-tries-spinning-bidens-neanderthal-thinking-remarks-about-texas-mississippi\/\">mocked Texas and Mississippi<\/a> after their GOP governors announced that they were fully reopening their economies and lifting mandatory mask mandates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe last thing, the last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in mean time everything\u2019s fine, take off your mask,\u201d he said. \u201cForget it. It\u2019s still matters. \u2026 And it\u2019s critical \u2014 critical, critical, critical \u2014 that they follow the science. Wash your hands, hot water, do it frequently. Wear a mask and stay socially distanced. And I know you all know that; I wish the heck some of our elected officials knew it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9329031\/Biden-slammed-HYPOCRITE-Texas-neanderthal-insult-allowing-border-overrun.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a> noted that on Thursday,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/03\/04\/us\/migrant-families-biden-plan.html\">The New York Times<\/a>\u00a0\u201creported that\u00a0the Biden administration plans to release migrant parents and children within 72 hours of their arrival in the United States.\u00a0Immigration and Customs Enforcement will now only detain families long enough to schedule court dates, test for COVID-19 and arrange for their transfer to shelters, the outlet reported.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/latino\/after-border-patrol-release-asylum-seekers-test-positive-covid-brownsville-n1259282\">NBC News report<\/a> stated that \u201cnumerous alleged asylum-seekers released into the U.S. by Border Patrol officials quickly tested positive for the coronavirus after their release.\u201d<\/p>\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.
