Biden: People in Texas and Mississippi Guilty of "Neanderthal Thinking"

Did a Neanderthal send all the COVID infected patients to nursing homes in New York?

No, that was a liberal.

I'd rather be a Neanderthal than a liberal.

Peter Sullivan reports:
President Biden on Wednesday denounced the governors of Texas and Mississippi for lifting coronavirus restrictions, calling the moves "Neanderthal thinking."
"I think it's a big mistake," Biden told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about the two states lifting their mask mandates and all capacity limits on businesses on Tuesday.
"I hope everybody's realized by now these masks make a difference," he added. "We are on the cusp of being able to fundamentally change the nature of this disease because of the way we're able to get vaccines in people's arms."
He noted there will be enough vaccines available for all adults by May.
"The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking that in the meantime everything's fine, take off your mask, forget it," he said. "It still matters."
"We will not have everybody vaccinated until sometime in the summer," Biden said.
He said people should continue wearing masks, washing their hands and distancing from others in the meantime.
"I know you all know that," he said to reporters. "I wish to heck some of our elected officials knew it."
Biden's comments mark a major escalation in rhetoric from the White House. Public health officials earlier in the day reiterated in general terms that now is not the time to lift restrictions but avoided naming specific states.
