Marjorie Taylor\u2063 Greene to\u2062 Introduce Legislation \u200cBanning Federal Mask Mandates<\/h2>\n<p>Under the Freedom to Breathe Act, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to introduce legislation that would prohibit the federal government from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-art-gallery-owner-blasts-new-york-city-mask-mandate-its-not-just-a-mask\/\" title=\"WATCH: Art Gallery Owner Blasts New York City Mask Mandate: \u2018It\u2019s Not Just A Mask\u2019\">reimplementing mask mandates<\/a> in response to a\u200c resurgence in COVID-19 cases. The proposed ban would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/marjorie-taylor-greene-introduces-anti-mask-mandate-after-effort-stalls-in-senate\/\" title=\"Marjorie Taylor Greene proposes anti-mask mandate after Senate's progress halts.\">specifically target mask-wearing requirements<\/a> for students and travelers, including on airplanes, \u200dpublic transit, and in educational \u200csettings.<\/p>\n<h3>Pandemic Politics Returns to \u200bthe Senate<\/h3>\n<p>Rep. Greene&#8217;s bill, shared exclusively with the Washington Examiner, aims to block federal officials, including President \u200cJoe Biden, from\u200d issuing orders that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utah-legislature-passes-bill-that-would-ban-face-mask-requirements-for-public-schools-universities\/\" title=\"Utah Legislature Passes Bill That Would Ban Face Mask Requirements For Public Schools, Universities\">enforce mask-wearing<\/a> or deny services to individuals who refuse to wear face coverings.\u2063 The legislation highlights the \u200binconsistency in public health guidance, with Dr. Anthony Fauci privately \u200dadmitting that masks were \u2063not effective while publicly advocating for their widespread use.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the bill would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-cruz-introduces-amendment-to-block-federal-funds-to-schools-that-enforce-child-covid-19-vaccine-mandates\/\" title=\"Sen. Cruz Introduces Amendment To Block Federal Funds To Schools That Enforce Child COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates\">restrict federal funding<\/a>\u200c for mask\u2064 requirements and ensure that agencies revise their guidance to align with Greene&#8217;s legislation. These revised guidelines would need to be issued within 90 days of the \u2062bill&#8217;s enactment.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Greene&#8217;s proposal serves\u2063 as the companion bill to similar legislation introduced\u200d by Sen.\u200d J.D. Vance in the Senate. However, Vance failed to secure unanimous\u2063 support for a vote on the bill,\u200b leaving it stalled in the upper\u2062 chamber. In contrast, the House version has already gained support \u200dfrom 13 co-sponsors.<\/p>\n<p>While the bill&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wisconsin-lawmakers-push-to-add-ballot-watermarks-in-order-to-improve-election-security\/\" title=\"Wisconsin lawmakers advocate for ballot watermarks to enhance election security.\">passage remains uncertain<\/a>, especially considering President Biden&#8217;s\u200c stance \u200con\u200b mask mandates, the White House has\u200b emphasized that decisions regarding mask requirements should \u2062be left to \u2063individual schools and districts. This shift\u2064 in responsibility reflects the growing politicization of public \u200chealth\u2064 measures, particularly as Republicans\u2064 position themselves for the upcoming 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>Even President Biden himself has shown a more relaxed approach to COVID-19 protocols, \u200dchoosing not to wear a mask at a recent White House event\u2063 despite his wife, first lady Jill \u200dBiden, testing positive for the virus. Biden even joked about his maskless entrance,\u200b further highlighting the changing attitudes towards mask-wearing.<\/p>\n<p>The renewed discussions on\u2064 public health mandates coincide with a rise in COVID-19 cases nationwide, raising concerns about\u200d a potential resurgence in the fall and winter. However, it is important to note that current case numbers remain relatively low compared to previous \u2063years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more \u2064from the Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
