“Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy implored President Donald Trump on Tuesday morning to start wearing a mask in public, marking another instance in which a conservative pushed back on Trump’s refusal to do so.
During an interview with Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel, Doocy asserted that Trump, who more likely than not was watching “Fox and Friends” at that very moment, would “set a good example” by wearing a mask.
“He’d be a good role model,” the Fox News host said. “I don’t see any downside to the President wearing a mask in public.”
Doocy emphasized his point again near the end of the interview.
“I think by wearing masks, you can keep the economy open,” Doocy said. “And closing things are the last thing anybody wants to do.”
“MAGA should now stand for ‘Masks Are Great Again,'” he joked.
More and more Republicans are breaking from Trump as he continues to flout health officials’ guidelines on facial coverings amid COVID-19.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN), and various GOP governors have all boosted the importance of wearing masks.

Shameless suck-ups making the deplorables even more deplorable.

There are so many new meanings for ‘conservative’; bootlicker, racist, fascist that whole ‘classic liberal’ thing is so 1980s
I think Trump supporters should embrace wearing masks that say MAGA or Trump. That way everyone would be safer, plus we’d still know who the assholes are.
I’d be curious to know whether these morons on Faux are televising their shows from their basements, or is that insult just reserved for Dems and the liberal media illuminati? If they are, those green-screens need to be exposed as cover for appearing as though they’re supporting the bogus claims of the Moronic Orange Blob at 1600. They need to come clean that the messaging they’re enabling him with is as phony as the studio they pretend to be sitting in. Perhaps their audience should be enlightened to that fact too. Faux’s smoke and mirrors won’t do it for them this time.
