Republican Ohio Attorney General Torched Over 'Pathetic' Mask-Lighting Stunt
HuffPost
"Why dance upon the graves of the 500,000 plus dead fellow Americans?" one critic wrote as Dave Yost celebrated of the end of certain COVID-19 restrictions.
Ohio Attorney General David Yost celebrated the end of compulsory mask-wearing and social distancing in the state by setting fire to a face covering, a move some critics online blasted as “pathetic” and “childish.” He posted a video to Twitter on Tuesday that showed him dousing a face mask with what appeared to be lighter fluid, then tossing a match onto it. Jimi Hendrix’s 1967 song “Fire” played, and Yost wrote that it was a bit “of a spoof on Jim Hendrix setting his Stratocaster on fire at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.” “In honor of the expiring health orders,” Yost captioned the video. Some people replied that that there are still local mask mandates in place.More Related News
