A group of Republican presidential candidates and lawmakers have spent the week raising hell at the prospect of COVID mask mandates and lockdowns—despite the fact there's no evidence any new mass restrictions will be implemented.
Governor Henry McMaster of South Carolina posted a video on social media Thursday announcing that he would block any new restrictions despite rising cases, describing the measures as “foolish.”
“I can assure the people of South Carolina we will not have mask mandates. We will not close schools, and we will not lock down,” he said.
